Trinity win thrilling senior eights

Racing was competitive at the Irish Rowing Championships in Inniscarra, Co. Cork, yesterday.

The highlight was the men’s senior eights, with Trinity making up for their second-place finish last year, edging a fierce battle with the UCD/OCBC composite crew.

The first title of the day went to Audrey Dormer, Carlow RC, who won the women’s masters single-sculls. Bann RC (Derry) won the women’s junior 18 pairs, despite the challenge of Portora.
