Tough Start to Third Day at Henley for Irish

2nd July 2010

The first three Irish crews in action at Henley this morning all fell to the superior fire power of seeded crews. The old boys' club of Oxford and Cambridge, 1829 Boat Club, beat Galway Rowing Club in the Thames Cup for club eights; Queen's B could not deal with the slicker ASR Nereus in the Temple Cup for student eights; Star Club beat Commercial after a fine battle in the Wyfold Cup for club fours.
