Leander beat the Old Collegians and London composite crew in the semi-final of the Prince of Wales Cup at Henley Royal Regatta today. In an exciting and close race Leander led for much of the contest but could not get clear water. They eventually won by three feet. The composite crew contained Sean Jacob from Old Collegians, the old boys’ club of University College, Dublin. Con Collis had to withdraw from the boat because of injury.
