Sarah Dineen: UCD dominate Colours 2017

UCD repeated last year’s results by taking the Gannon Cup, Corcoran Cup, and Sally Moorhead Trophy at the Dublin University Boat Races (Colours) 2017. It also means nine of the last 10 Gannon Cups have gone to UCD and the gap in the overall standings is now 4 (Trinity with 36 wins to UCD’s 32, and one dead heat).

The Gannon Cup (senior men) saw a great performance from UCD where they led from the start against the heavier Trinity crew into a strong headwind.

The crew had three lengths to spare as they came to the finish at St James’s Gate, with both crews having to contend with a powerful headwind and very choppy water.
