he inaugural Student Match Racing Invitational took place on the 1st - 2nd April in the National Yacht Club. The event brought 6 colleges from around the country together to compete in some very close and competitive match racing over the weekend.

Saturday brought a calm 10-15 kts with overcast skies along with a double round robin. TUD were leading on 8 points after a dominant performance, narrowly losing just two races on Saturday. UCD 1 and UCD 2 were tied on 6 points with UCD1 taking 2nd place on count back due to their two wins over UCD 2 in the round robin. QUB completed the top four teams going through to the next stage on Sunday on 5 points. While UL and MTU displayed some very competitive match racing, they were unfortunately the bottom two placed teams and did not make it to Stage 2.

Sunday morning brought a two hour postponement in order to wait for a sea breeze. Quarter finals took place in the form of a round robin between the remaining four teams, UCD 1 won every race in the quarter final round robin giving them the right to pick who they faced in a best of three semi-finals. UCD1 picked UCD2, with TUD facing QUB in the other Semi- FInal.
