Tight racing at Skibb

Despite the approach of exams the club managed to send a strong contingent to the NRC in Cork to race the Sunday session at Skibbereen Regatta.

The first race of the day for UCD was the Divison 2 4+ heat, with the Club 2 crew securing a place in the A final where they finished 2nd in tight race with UCC.

Senior 4- winners at Skibb 2019 L-R: Shane O’Connell, Andrew Goff, Shane Mulvaney, David O’Malley

The success of the day came in the Division 1 4-, with three Senior UCD crews competing. They finished 1st, 3rd and 4th in the straight final with Cork in 2nd.

Both UCD crews performed well in the Division 1 8+ time trial, with the Senior and Intermediate crews achieving places in the A and B final respectively. In the final, the Senior found themselves in an early battle, with both the Cork and Commercial boats surging to a length lead in the first 1000m. A strong drive for the line race saw UCD move into second place, finishing half a length down the Commercial boat.

The club is truly shocked and saddened with the passing of Jonathan Devitt.

Johnny made an enormous contribution to the club, not least as Captain in 2002 and 2003. He created foundations that the club still builds on today and it was fitting that he received a Centenary Medal in recognition of this in 2017.

We offer our most sincere condolences to his wife Caroline, his family, his crew mates and all who knew him.
