#Rowing: The Old Collegians crew of Dave Neale and Sean Jacob lost out to Christiania Roklub of Norway in the Double Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta today. The Norwegians led from the start. They had carved out a one and three-quarter length lead by Fawley, and while the Irish crew kept them honest, they could not reel them in.
