Beat LMBC II (1 length)
Beat LMBC II (1 length)
The 2nd Lent boat cruised through the early rounds, but came up against LMBC II in the Semis. They had lost to LMBC II in both the prior encounters of the term - the Head2Head and the Robinson Head. Few spectators on the bank really fancied their chances, but the crew were fired up like nothing else. A phenominally quick start won them a small lead and they never lost it - fighting a tight battle to the railway bridge and pulling out a lead of 1 length as the finish approached. An awesome race.

Had an average to good row, but never really got anywhere near King's. It looked as though they never really knew what to do once King's had held them on the start and through the corners.
Thursday
Bumped King's

Bumped Kings at the Railings in much the same way as we got Downing. They were all very fired up after watching us go head.

They thought they had got them, and had to re-row on Saturday, but it didn't go their way.
