Provisional results from Saturday's Leinster School's Team Racing Championships show that Loreto College Stephens Green emerged top of the five team championship.

Held in light easterly winds, the Royal St. George Yacht Club's 12–boat Firefly fleet was put to the test in a day–long series of short, sharp harbour races.

Second and third overall were Gonzaga College with Saint Andrew's College in fourth and fifth overall.

The Saint Andrews College Flicker account has photos of the event here.
