The Club's Results

University IVs 1998

1st men's IV (1st division)

1st round
Beat Churchill II (34s)

Rowing much better than yesterday, we were 17s up at the Plough and never in danger. Things going well. (Rich)
Semi finals

A wide Ditton left us 5s down out of the corner and people's resolve then flagged. The Reach was not rowed well and Maggie stretched their lead to the finish. Gutted. (Rich)
