#MatchRacing - Philip Bendon and team made a strong start stick as they finished fourth in the 19th Match Race Germany in Langenargen on Monday (16 May).

The Kinsale skipper and his crew fell to Pierre Rhimbault's Matchtogether who took the 'Petite Finale' playoff by 2-1.

The overall winners from the 12-team fleet were the German/Polish team Jablonski Racing, one of the two favourites who dominated from the get-go last Friday.

Karol Jablonski and crew swept Maxime Mesnil's Co Pilotes By Normandie Elite Team – who defeated Bendon Race Team in the semis – by 3-0 in the final.
