#Rowing: Ireland’s last crew at Henley Royal Regatta exited this morning. Monika Dukarska was well beaten by Lisa Scheenaard of the Netherlands in the Princess Royal for women’s single scullers. Scheenaard, on the Berkshire station, took a little time to establish a lead, but not long after the Island she had taken a half-length lead and she had a considerable clearwater advantage by the one-mile mark.

Henley Royal Regatta, Day Three (Selected Results; Irish interest):

Princess Royal (Women’s Single Sculls; Open): L Scheenaard bt M Dukarska easily; 9:17.

Prince Albert (Fours, coxed; Student): Algemene Utrechtse Studenten Roeivereniging Orca, Holland bt Trinity (M Corcoran, P Moreau, L Hawkes, M Kelly; cox C Flynn) 2¾ l; 7:40.
