Captain’s Log- 9/12/06
It is nearly time for the Christmas break, with term finished now and the exam week begining on Monday. Currently, the Club is in a very strong position, with two very dedicated and strong first year novice crews training regularly on and off the water. This year, they are being coached by former Eton schoolboy and rower, Ali Floyd, a first year Trinity student who has already proven himself an invaluable resource.
We also have a strong contingent of second year novices comprising our Intermediate Squad, under the guidance of John Mohan. John seems pleased with their progress in the boats and I am happy with the level of dedication and positive attitude of the crew- they all seem ready transform the dissapointments of last year into success this season.
Once again, Mark Pattison has returned to coach our Senior 8. This years crew is a strong one, coming off a good run to the Quarters in the Temple Cup and a fantastic win in the Inter 8′s at the Irish Champs. With 6 of that crew returning, plus veteran oarsmen Dave Cummins, as well as the addition of a QUBBC Senior oarsmen in Eoghan Kerlin, the crew is focused on Henley and the Temple Cup this year. The club has been aided greatly by the support both of DUCAC and the Annual Appeal and we are currently expanding our small boat fleet. This program, instituted by Mark, is already paying dividends in the 8. Hopefully, we can maintain our momentum over Christmas and return ready to begin the season firing on all cylinders! -Gabriel

At the Irish National Championship at Inniscarra this weekend, Trinity secured the Intermediate Eights pot with some fine rowing. They finished ahead of the fancied Belfast Rowing Club, Thames Cup semi-finalists, in a nail-biting finish, with the verdict a one second margin.
The crew was:
Cox: Jonny Maitland
Stroke: Sean Osborne
7: Joseph Calnan
6: Edward Roffe-Silvester
5: David Keane
4: Rory Browne
3: Rory Horner
2: Robert Swift
Bow: John McCabe
Coaches: Mark Pattison and Tim Levy
In the Senior Eights final Trinity finished fifth, one length of clear water behind Neptune, with three composite crews medalling.
An intermediate pair of John McCabe (bow) and Gavin Doherty performed well, reaching their final to finish fourth.
David Cummins and Gabriel Magee both sculled well in their respective categories, with Dave progressing through the heats of both the inter and lightweight sculls.
The Novices unfortunately failed to make the final of the eights amidst tough competition. One of the three fours entered reached the final, but again came up against tough opposition, and it was not to be there day. Nevertheless, much potential has been shown by the group, and their enthusiasm will bring them many wins in the seasons to come if they continue to improve at such a rate. Many thanks are due to their coaches, John Mohan and Nick Mahony.
Many thanks to all who came to support in Cork.
The present Committee wishes the Captain-elect, Gabriel Magee and his Committee-designate all the best in their preparations for next season.
