Trinity Pip UCD at Head of the River in London

20th March 2016

#Rowing: Trinity’s senior men's eight finished 25^th at the Head of the River in London on Saturday, while, remarkably in a field of 325 crews, UCD came in just one place further back, 1.43 seconds slower. The result was a reversal of the finishing positions at the Gannon Cup, which UCD won, but in London UCD started 27 places behind Trinity, in 44^th to Trinity’s 17^th. Trinity’s second eight had over five seconds to spare on UCD’s second entry.

Head of the River (Eights), London, Saturday (Irish interest): 1 Oxford Brookes University One 17 min 34.66 sec; 25 Trinity One 18:37.53; 26 UCD Two 18:38.96; 64 Trinity Two 19:13.72; 73 UCD One 19:19.09.
