Novice Fairbairn Cup 2003

2nd women's novice VIII (2nd division)

Coxed by: Daniel Francis

15th, 2nd Second VIII
Time: 14:19
Fairbairns was in some ways something of a disapointment for a very strong second team with oodles of talent, fantastic teamwork and a gorgeous and talented coxswain. A polished start and committed opening push led to some excellent rowing and a strong attack. By the middle of the race, however, composure suffered a little and the hardworking crew were unable to achieve the kind of speeds to which they had become used in practice.

An overall result of 15th and a placing of 2nd among the 2nd boats was good but not quite the fulfilment of the potential of a fine group of rowers who will hopefully go on to do tremendous things in the months and years to come.

Next term, of course, should be, well, marvellous. (Daniel)
