These guys are neither the biggest or the strongest guys, however as I told them before the race, they were racing for themselves, to do the best they could do and with most of them pulling personal bests I think they took these words to heart and really gave it everything they could!
Well done guys.

Emma Sprints
1st round
Lost to Clare by a few lengths
Lost to Clare by a few lengths
A little bit of inexperience (and hurried marhsalling!) left us still straightening up when go was called, meaning some of us didn't start to row and sending us into the bank - disaster start!
However, the guys got back straight again and really pushed back on Clare before succumbing to some untidy rowing towards the finish.
Nevertheless, an enthusiastic first race.

A difficult draw against a strong Emma II boat (albeit all dressed as Brokeback Mountain lookalikes) left us trailing, but we kept our heads and rowed a firm race on the way back without any hiccups in starting!

Great race guys. You really pulled it together today. Fantastic line round Chesterton and some real grunt at the finish! A focused row too - whenever it slipped out of time you brought it back together. A good culmination of all the work you've put in this term!
really well done everyone: truly inspirational coxing as well as singing from avin, and such a good result considering the circumstances! really enjoyed rowing with u guys.
well you beat disney sussex A, their cox is getting it when i see her for sure.
