UCD Rule the Waves at Dublin Head

5th March 2011

UCD’s men’s senior eight was the fastest rowing crew of the 35 which competed at the Dublin Head of the River. The conditions were surprisingly choppy, even in relatively light winds. The Dublin college also won the novice eights pennant, with Queen’s University second, and the women’s senior eight, with Trinity over five seconds back.
