1st men's VIII, 1st division

Overall winners
Time: 8:05
Good commitment, but still not tidy enough. (BJ)
Well as it turns out, due to delays in rigging etc, we once again raced in BP1/TR1/FTT801, and the Nene was in fact not its send off as the top boat, so we were keen to win. Another good result, but we all know there's still a lot of work to do and a lot more speed to be found. (Phil)
The reach was a shack of shite and not enough beach weights. But a win's a win and we hope to build on this. (Tom C)
Ditto. (Andy)
A win, but still 11s off last year, plenty to work on (Will)

2nd men's VIII, Lower VIIIs

4th overall; fastest second VIII
Time: 8:41
Personal winning streak continues.

Look forward to eating crews alive in bumps. (Martin Y)
Well, we won.
It was a pretty good effort from everyone, but not quite as powerful as it has been in training. Glad that we stayed on top of the high-rate stuff, it bodes well for bumps. (Emma)
sweet, beat caius m1

we officially rule (Lorry)
What, no pots?

Not our best rowing, but decent commitment. I sure we're all not happy being 36s behind M1.

More to come from this crew. (Neil)

1st women's VIII, 1st division

Fastest women's VIII
Time: 9:21
NICE! Ra Ra 1st & 3rd!
Bring on bumps :D I hope Emma, Caius and Clare are preparing to move swiftly downwards.. Double headship anyone? Donkeys for everyone!


Donkeys are only for when you do especially well. I thought 4/4 FaT victories was probably almost worth donkeys. I really will buy you a donkey if you go head :) Doesn't mean you have to let them row for you.. (Joff)
A good race. Many things to improve, but committed and reasonably neat, barring the odd wobble.

Also nice to put 17 seconds between us and Emma, though it's a shame the other main competition this term chose not to enter.

Lilie, what on earth do we want donkeys for? They would bring the crew average weight down :o/ (Erica)
Good work girls. Now's the time to gear up properly. (Tom C)
No one mentioned anything about donkeys... I've always wanted one as a pet. xxxxx (Danielle)

2nd women's VIII, Lower VIIIs

5th overall; fastest second VIII
Time: 10:16
We rowed fast! I'm ready and I still have 20 minutes before my date arrives. Thank you all, much appreciated.

p.s. We are fit. (Harriet)
Well done girls. Looking forward to more of the same! (Erica)
We won !!! we are truly awesome...we rowed well together and it paid off(obviously there are still things to work on..in particular not rushing the slide) you girls are all awesome it was a pleasure rowing with you, bring on bumps...!!! (Hannah)
I could not be happier - to be WINNING at this stage (and the first time we have ever raced together as a full crew) is amazing - so proud! Bring on the bumps - we're not going to settle for anything less than blades. Woo hoo!!! xx (Jo)
Absolutely awesome!!!!

What I'm most pleased about is that we're closing the gap on the first women which has been pretty big the last couple of years. 35 seconds off them today, and we've still got a lot to work on. I am soooo proud to be coxing you guys xxxxxx (Dami)
