1st round
Lost to Peterhouse II Easily (Towpath side)
Never had much of a chance against a very good Peterhouse M2. Held them on the start though! (???)
Plate final
Beat Darwin II (DQ) (Meadow Side)
Another good start and we were leading Darwin II, our blades clashed and then our blades clashed with their boat. I didn't have much clue what was happenning, but they stopped and we kept going, to cross the line well in front after they eventually restarted.

The race was not properly rowed out owing to Darwin leaving their station and clashing badly with 1st & 3rd, who eventually crossed the finish line first.

as the 99s website says.

Well, we won some lovely glasses without actually winnig a race! (???)
