The Talbott Cup

The Talbott Cup was created in 2013 to provide increased racing opportunity for lower boats which are often disadvantaged by the Pembroke Regatta categorisation system and the lower number of Bumps divisions in Lents.

The regatta is intended for lower boats' rowers and as such no rower/cox who has first boat colours may race, those who break this rule will have their crew disqualified. Further, their club may be banned from the following year's race at the discretion of the race secretary.

The 2025 race was run on Tuesday the 18th of March 2025, with the first race starting at 2pm.

The results of previous years can be found here.

We are continuing last years six division race as follows:

  • second boats which are their Club's lowest boat OR did not getting on to or enter Lent Bumps
  • third boats
  • fourth boats
This will be equal on the men's and women's sides. Second boats which aren't their Club's lowest boat but contain a vast majority of Mich/Lent novices may also be considered at the discretion of the Race Secretary. These divisions may be merged at the discretion of the Race Secretary depending on the numbers of entries.

Any division with four or more entries will be entitled to glass tankards.

If you have any questions, please contact the regatta secretary (talbottcup@firstandthird.org).
