1st round
Beat Exeter College, Oxford (3 lengths)
Beat Exeter College, Oxford (3 lengths)
This was a good solid row, once we had established a lead. ![[by the webmaster]](/images/endpara.gif)
2nd round
Beat Girton (1/3 length)
Beat Girton (1/3 length)
This was a personal grudge battle after last term and fantastic to row in and cross the line first!
3rd round
Lost to Keble College, Oxford
Lost to Keble College, Oxford
This was a good race; starting from behind on the inside lane of the curved course, the crew worked well and drew level with Keble over the first part of the race. Keble worked hard in the second half, however, and we just weren't quite strong enough to continue our advances. We lost by a length or two.

1st women's VIII, College VIIIs
Beat Exeter College, Oxford (2 lengths) in the 1st round and Lost to Merton College, Oxford in the 2nd round
1st round
Beat Exeter College, Oxford (2 lengths)
Beat Exeter College, Oxford (2 lengths)
Exeter seemed to work harder in the first part of the race than they had in the Novice VIIIs competition, starting from behind on the inside line and drawing level. It was only from about half way that we were able to begin pushing ahead - another good race and a pleasing win.
2nd round
Lost to Merton College, Oxford
Lost to Merton College, Oxford
Merton had just beaten Twickenham comfortably in S2, so we weren't expecting an easy row. We lost by 2 or 3 lengths but we had a really strong and much more relaxed rhythm than the last 3 races so were pleased with the race even if the result wasn't in our favour. All in all, a great day's racing.
2nd men's VIII, Dewire for JPD, Senior4 VIIIs
2nd men's VIII, Dewire for JPD, College VIIIs
1st round
Lost to Christchurch Oxford I
Lost to Christchurch Oxford I
The crew maintained a solid 36 for both races of the day, and whilst unhappy with the results, were otherwise pleased with their rows.
