Michaelmas Racing

Thank you all for coming out to Michaelmas Racing  it was fantastic to see such a great turnout. The whole spirit of the event is about getting out on the water, having some fun together, and rounding it off with mulled wine and good company to celebrate the end of the term, and you all helped make that happen. 

Queens Head of the River

To finish 2025 racing, DUBC travelled to the unfamiliar Lagan in Belfast to take on QUBC over two heads (Eights and Fours). The Senior 8+ finished 2nd, 12 seconds off Queen’s, and the Club 8+ also took 2nd, 10 seconds behind.

In the afternoon Fours, DUBC entered one Senior and three Club crews. DUBC finished ahead of Queen’s in both Senior and Club categories, taking 2nd in Senior 4+, and 1st, 3rd, and 4th in Club 4+.

Erne Fours Head

DUBC returned to the familiar Erne course with four coxed fours across Senior, Intermediate, Club 1 and Club 2. Results were positive: a win in Club 1 4+, 2nd in Senior 4+ (and 3rd overall among all coxed boats), 5th in Intermediate 4+ after heavy clashes, and 2nd in Club 2 4+.
