Queen’s University bowed out of Henley Royal Rowing Regatta today when their men’s eight lost to RSV Universiteit Okeanos of the Netherlands in the Temple Cup. The Dutch crew moved into an early lead and stretched it to about a length. Queen’s pushed them in the final stages but could not head them. The final verdict was three-quarters of a length. Ireland now has no eight in action for Henley weekend. Just two crews remain, the UCD and Grainne Mhaol/NUIG fours, and they meet each other on Friday in the Visitors’ Cup.
