Casey and Cremen finish eighth overall after strong display in B final

The pair crossed the line with a time of 6:49.50.

AOIFE CASEY AND Margaret Cremen secured second in their lightweight double sculls B final this morning to cement an eight place overall spot in the event. 

The pair were in the running throughout, having set out their stall early with a rapid start. By the midway point, it was clear the race was between them and Switzerland. 

Eventually, they crossed the line with a time of 6:49.50. The Swiss boat finished first in 6:49.16 while the Russian boat came third. 

It is a promising finish for the young Irish duo who will now look to continue their improvements for Paris.
