#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.
