#Rowing: The faster Tara crew at the Fours Head of the River in London was disqualified. The quadruple competed and did reasonably well, but were disqualified for “breach of navigation rules and collision prior to race”: it is understood that the crew hit an Oxford women’s crew. The other Tara quadruple had to settle for a timing-only outing as illness ruled out Andrew Harrington and an England-based substitute was brought in.
