2nd women's VIII

3rd fastest crew not to get on
Time: 9:41
Assuming the reports are right on CUCBC message boards, the 2nds superb row only just missed out on a place. An excellent row, with massive responses to lifts and minutes faster than their last head piece length course.

An excellent row... bring on the Mays!

Beat Fitz II, Homerton II and Magdalene II along with several third boats. (Michael)
Mike's beaten me to it - there's nothing else to say except congratulations on a fantastic row and better luck next term! (Vicki)
This was the best race we've ever done. We all rowed well and pushed as hard as we could, but unfortunately it just wasn't good enough on the day.
Thanks should go to all the people who have coached us this term and to the many coxes we've had. Also thanks to the great bank party we had today, and the extra supporters going down the reach. We couldn't have done it without you all!
Now we concentrate on getting even better by the Mays. (Jenny)
Today really was the day that the crew came together. This felt so much better than the Robinson Head and the Pembroke Regatta. Personally I'm gutted, but, to quote Sarah Maidment, "the blue sky, the gorgeous sunshine, and the fantastic team spirit will certainly stick with me". I can't think of a better way of putting it.
