#WorldJuniorRowing: Ireland’s Bridget Jacques and Hilary Shinnick missed out on the A Final of the women’s double sculls at the World Junior Championships at Trakai in Lithuania.

The first three from today’s A/B semi-final made it into tomorrow’s A Final, and Romania took the most direct route, leading down the course to win. Behind them an exciting battle unfolded. Through the second half of the race, Germany, Ireland and Australia effectively competed for two places. At 1500 metres, Germany held second and Australia third, clear of Ireland. Australia upped the ante and closed up on Germany, and while the Ireland crew pushed hard in the closing stages they couldn’t head either of their rivals. Australia passed Germany to take second. Ireland finished 2.8 seconds down on Germany in fourth. They are set to compete in tomorrow’s B Final.
