Every year there is a boat race on the river between UCD and Trinity. An old rivalry that in some way mirrors the Oxford Cambridge rivalry in England but without the pomp and circumstance. Most years when I see it I stumble up it by accident. Walking through town on a Saturday afternoon and I see the crowds gathering. I have no idea who wins and what they have to go through afterwards to wash the Liffey slime off themselves and their boats but it seems fun.
