Tough Draw for Trinity at Henley Royal Regatta

28th June 2011

Three Irish crews will compete on the first day of Henley Royal Regatta on Wednesday. Trinity and Queen’s University go into the action in the Temple Cup for student eights at 3.05 and 3.35 respectively. Queen’s are a seeded crew (“selected” in Henley terminology), but Trinity are not and have drawn a selected crew in Nereus from Amsterdam. Queen’s take on the University of Bristol – which is the same college Trinity’s coxed four take on in the Prince Albert for student coxed fours at 7.20 pm.
