Trinity Give Irish Lift Off With Win From Behind at Henley

3rd July 2013

# RowingHenley: Trinity College, Dublin came from behind to beat the seeded University of Virginia crew at Henley Royal Regatta this morning. University of Virginia led at the Fawley and Remenham markers, but by the one mile marker Trinity had drawn level and they led at the one mile and one eighth mark and held off the Americans to win by ¾ of a length. It was a terrific start to racing for the five Irish club crews at Henley.
