Regardless of the circumstances which surround the race, the Gannon cup, and equally the Dan Quinn Shield, is invariably a tense encounter. However, the 2010 instalment of this prestigious event promises to ratchet up the stress levels several notches, as the sheer number of cancelled events means the two universities have yet to meet on the water. There is much to play for, as UCD aim to claim their third victory in as many years in the senior race, while the novice event will see UCD battle to reclaim the Dan Quinn Shield, having last year relinquished the trophy for the first time since 2005. The race will once again start from O?Connell Bridge, and is scheduled to take place on the 6th of March. For more information visit: www.gannoncup.com

All those in UCD Boat Club are profoundly shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of our remarkable coach, rower and teammate, Martin Feeley. Martin was hugely influential on the club, both as a rower in "The Animals", and as a coach, guiding us to such extraordinary success in recent years. Winning three consecutive Men's Senior Eights at the Championships between 1971 and 1973, the Ladies Plate at Henley Royal Regatta in 1974 and representing Ireland at the 1976 Olympics, Martin then went on to coach the Men's Senior Eight to victory for four titles in a row from 2019 to 2023.Through countless other achievements and his unrelenting dedication to the club, Martin leaves his mark on UCDBC and on the sport. Martin will remain an inspirational leader and friend to generations of UCD rowers, and will be dearly missed.Our deepest condolences to Colleen, Tara, lain, Emmett, Aoife and all of the Feeley family.Ad Astra Martin.rip.ie/death-notice/martin-feeley-dublin-540467
