2nd round
Lost to Emmanuel III (2 lengths)
Started reasonably well... I think they may have been pulling away slightly over the first 10 strokes but there was very little in it. Then Bow's (Matthew Bennet's) seat came off the slide. It took him until a bit before the railway bridge before he got it back on so the ground we lost whilst rowing with six men was too much to get back. Apparently we lost by a couple of lengths but given the incident I don't think that was too bad. (Alan Doyle)
What was heartening to see was the excellent fighting spirit of the crew and their willingness to fight until the very end. (H. Ballmann)
