#Rowing: Ireland’s Sinead Lynch and Claire Lambe just missed out on an A Final place at the World Cup Regatta in Lucerne today. The lightweight double semi-final was a good race – only Canada looked certain of a top three spot going into the final sprint and they won. Denmark finished well and took second, with China Two just taking the crucial third spot ahead of Ireland. The margin was just .43 of a second.
