Following three days of trialling in mid-March by our Senior Ladies Coach; a provisional Colours Crew was anounced on Sunday, March 22nd.
The provisional crew consists of six intermediate and two senior oarswomen.
The selection process is by no means complete however as we head into Neptune Regatta (Island Bridge) this weekend. The club have entered one intermediate eight and two senior eights.
General feeling of disappointment to discover that we were the only club to enter Senior 8’s but nevertheless the straight final should give JH (UCD Director of Rowing) and the UCD Ladies Coaches plenty to think about as the girls row to seize one of their final chances to break into the eagerly anticipated Colours crew.
Meanwhile the Intermediate category offers plenty of opposition and possibly the toughest draw that UCD have faced in the Neptune Regatta, Intermediate category for some years – opposition including Queens, Portora, Neptune, Commercial and Trinity who we will meet in the first round at 6.30 p.m on Friday (April 3rd) evening.
