Semi finals
won by several lengths against Newnham
Crashed spectacularly into a pontoon off the start, leaving most of stroke side unable to row for about 10 strokes. Miraculously became un-entangled, re-drew, wound and strode, and sailed past Newnham [calling 'they've crashed; they're well behind..' etc.] in not-very-many strokes.
