This was an awesome race!!!! It was a confident bump if not a little later than it should have been! I was very proud of our boys today, well done guys it was a thoroughly deserved bump hopefully every day will go as well, touch wood!

Another sexy row from the guys. The row up to the start was definitly one of a confident crew ready to bump and their solid practice start no doubt intimidated the queens crew behind them. Everything looked in place for a good bump! And indeed one did follow and quickly!!! It was also helped by the fact that Queen's started at an interesting angle on the river, but most definitly a well deserved victory for the guys!

Well done girls!!! I was so proud, Newnham were right up behind Tit Hall for the entire race but couldn't pull off a spectacular push like our girls that gained them over a length to get the well deserved bump!!!

This just wasnt a fair contest today, Tit Hall had no chance against our women. The girls were quietly sunbathing as tit hall pulled up the start and their nonchalant attitude definitly intimidated the lesser crew. The confidence was not misplaced. It was a very short race today with the bump coming just beyond the motorway bridge, the whistles were coming so fast as you guys were doing really really really really really really really well. Superb work today girls!!!

Well its safe to say the boys have been getting a little cocky of late. Boasting of all their quick bumps but today they proved that they were fantastic at the slightly longer stretches, having to row a little longer than their usual 30 or so strokes and having to "stride for the first time" as certain members of the crew continuely pointed out. But it was a very good race and a well deserved bump, the peterhouse start was a strong one but they just couldnt sustain it throughout the race and the sight of our boys gaining on them obviously must have been disheartening!! Well done guys, tomorrow is the clincher...good luck!!!

Absolutely awesome!!!!! I am so proud of all you guys you really deserved this well done!!! Though on your row home i think you made a few of the other crews wonder exactly how you bladed...there was definitly some interesting coxing going on from lorry and some even more interesting rowing from rich but all in all your one damn sexy boat!!!!

What can i say...add a bit of violence to a sport and it gets ten times more exciting. This was a very close race with downing within metres of the boat in front of them but this definitly did not phase our girls. They kept rowing on, as did downing...even when they were on the bank! Highlight of the lent bumps was definitly the sight of the downing crew swimming for the bank, classic! Hopefully the video footage of it came out alright.

This was just awesome! There is no other word for it. These girls came from 5th in their heat and about 7th of the girls in the final to make it into third place. Each one showing determination and enthusiasm that really made a LBC proud!!! The finals were exhausting even just to watch, and our girls came from about 6th or 7th place near the start to pull it back to third. Each won their own personal battles, alot knocking a fair few seconds off their previous PBs.
I was just so so proud to be there shouting at them, and to hear at the end from the commentator "and Trinity come third! Where the hell did they come from!?!?!?" Absolutely made my night.
And of course a well done has to go to Corrine for pulling the fastest women's individual time, and a possible Queen's ergs record! (1:38.2)
An awesome awesome night all round.

Yey to the 2nd women!!! They all did really well, many not having a chance to even have a single practice 500m but they did so brilliantly. Each girl really put their heart into it and all had such fantastic enthusiasm! If they keep that attitude up I really see a bright novice term ahead of us!
