In the Fevas the Higgins pairing put on a serious last day push, taking all 1sts and 2nds and taking the overall victory by 2 points. Now that's the way to become National Champions!!
In the 200s the Craig/Foley pairing finally got just pipped for 2nd Irish boat and 4th overall, but 3rd Irish boat is a solid showing. Noonan/King held onto 6th overall, maintaining yesterday's position. Meantime Toterdell/Kelly jumped up to 9th from 13th with a strong last day - probably the best of the Dun Laoghaire boats on the last day. The Hinkson and Cassidy pairings more or less held position with consistent performances.
Meantime the 400 fleet saw the DL boats experience mixed fortunes again. The Ryan brothers put in several 3rds and 4ths but could only fight up to 8th overall. Still, that's 3rd or 4th Irish boat and looking at the names well behind them shows the top class level they're operating at. As yesterday, Olympians and other household names well below them in the results!! Arthur Mehigan held steady but dropped a few places as his very consistency meant that the discard didn't help him much. Richard Tate climbed from 41st to 37th on the last day.
All in all a successful showing for Dun Laoghaire. Champions in Fevas and rankings among the top few Irish boats in 200 and 400. And probably good tans too!
