Trip to Queen's Gives Skibbereen League Boost

19th May 2011

Skibbereen head the Grand League table after the second round. The west Cork club, who were in second place behind UCD after their own regatta, travelled to Castlewellan in Co Down for the Queen’s regatta last weekend and added sufficient points to build up a 132-point lead over second-placed Commercial. UCD, who did not travel to Queen’s, are tied with St Michael’s in joint third, just one point behind Commercial.
