    Don't think anyone here's noticed: at 11:50 today the UCD Coxed Fours will take on the University of Bristol at the Henley Royal Regatta, in the final of the Prince Albert Challenge Cup. From the Indo:
    University College Dublin's crew has reached the final in the cox fours at the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta, after overcoming teams from Cambridge, Oxford and Harvard in earlier rounds. The team of Tom Doyle, Finbarr Manning, Colm Pierce, David Neale and cox Jenni Lynch will today compete against the University of Bristol for the title which hasn't been won by an Irish team before. In front of crowds of over 100,000 people, the UCD crew defeated Harvard by almost a full length in the semi-finals yesterday.
    Pull! :D

    Here are the results: UCD won by 2 lengths. You'll be seeing some new hardware in the trophy cabinet next year. Congratulations to all involved! :D
