This was the first race off Cam for most of this crew and they faced up to multi-lane racing in difficult conditions really well. In a tough race with a strong St. Paul's crew, they acquitted themselves admirably, striking an excellent rhythm, but were denied a medal.

This crew were by far the lightest and smallest crew in the event and would have entered lightweights had there been the opportunity. Naturally, a strong cross-wind was not in their favour! Nevertheless, they rowed admirably, coming in second place and achieving the best 500m split of the entire event in the third quarter (1:51).

All in all, it was an extremely profitable day, with all crews gaining some valuable race experience in appauling conditions. Poplar seems to have whetted everyone's appetite and encouraged us to raise our game.

A bad start hampered this crew but some impressive rowing saw them row through half of the field, including two home clubs, to take the bronze medal.

We had an absolutely amazing row despite a last-minute crew change! The warm up couldn't really have been much better and the practice start was probably one of the best we've ever done. The actual start was just as gutsy and set us up for a solid and neat row down the whole course, easily holding Robinson off and closing at times to within a length of Queens'. After such a smashing row, things are looking good for the rest of bumps! Ra ra!
