Tricky conditions meant that NM3 veered off towards the meadows on the first ten strokes, but some snazzy coxing and a very sharp looking wind meant that they recovered well. The two crews were well matched and more-or-less level as they reached cruising speed, but the boys fought hard and remained calm, pushing LMBC back to about half a length and gradually pulling away.
Under the railway bridge an excellent line gave them clear water and they pushed again to finish a few lengths clear.
Well done lads (and lass)!!
