The Club's Results

Novice Fairbairn Cup 2017

3rd men's novice VIII (1st division)

Coxed by: Hadi Khan
Coached by: Dohun Lee, Rory McLaurin,

51st
Time: 13:23.8
Terrible availabilities, 3 days of consecutive yellow flags, and the 2-boat rule imposed on the river by CUCBC meant that this was the first time this crew had rowed together since Emma's Sprints. The start reflected this, with two of the members catching overhead crabs right before the post, but the rowing improved throughout the race. I was left at the finish thinking that one more outing before the race would have changed the result significantly. 

Rather disappointing result, coming 4th out of 8 NM3s and 51st overall, but the result does not fairly reflect the standards of the rowers in this boat. I wish them good luck for the rest of their rowing careers.
