First and Third Trinity Boat Club, College Boat Clubs
Won with 82.5 points
The qualifying events in Michaelmas term were the University IVs (light IVs, 1st men's and women's coxed IVs), Clare Novices (cup competitions) and Fairbairns (1st men's and women's VIIIs). Michell Cup points were divided rather uninterestingly, with First and Third taking all three qualifying senior men's titles, Christ's both the senior women's and Jesus both the novices'. This gave us the lead by virtue of both the light IVs and the 1st men's coxed IVs earning points at Uni IVs.
A storming set of Lent Bumps saw us surge into a lead which, strengthened by a Foster Fairbairn Pairs win for Richard Fletcher and Philipp Preiss, left us 30 points ahead of our usual rivals, Jesus, with only the May Bumps remaining.
The May Bumps themselves were a little disappointing (Michell Cup points-wise at least), and dark horse Pembroke made an unexpected push for the line, but our results were just enough for a half-point victory.
