1st Feb '03	HoNene - Won S3 8+	by jwe
The men's first eight won S3 eights at the Head of the Nene, being fastest Cambridge college crew in 18:39 (2nd college was Downing with 19:06). They were only 5s slower than the fastest S2 crew and placed 5th overall.
27th Jan '03	Fastest Head2Head	by mcp
We had two crews competing in Saturday's Head2Head timetrial organised by Cambridge City Rowing Club. The men's 1st VIII posted the fastest time of the day. Caius, starting Head in the Lent Bumps, went faster on the first leg of the two part race but were dispatched on the second to finish 10 seconds down overall. The 2nd VIII finished well relative to other 2nd boats (beaten only by the matched crews of LMBC) and finished in the middle of the crews due to be racing around them in the 2nd division of the Lent Bumps. The Results section has been updated with a summary of the full results.

23rd Nov '02	FaT WIN Emma Sprints	by RJN
The 2nd VIII won Emma Sprints in style. The first race consisted of a small head start for our opposition (which bow 4 decided to ignore). We were winning too easily so we raced against them in IVs for msjority of the course. The second round saw us face some Emma Novices, similar tactics were used, although bow pair took on the 8 Emma novices for a good few strokes, and managed to hold them off. Our third race was a grudge match, as we took on the Pembroke boat that took out the other Trinity Crew. We beat them too. In the final we took on the might of Clare's mixed crew. It was a slightly closer race, but we still won easily. What can I say, we had the sticks of power on our side!
17th Nov '02	Winter Head Results	by mcp
Several 1st and 3rd crews raced in the Cambridge Winter Head on Saturday. Our results may be found here. The 1st men's VIII, with their sights set on the Fairbairns, were 2nd fastest college behind Caius. The 1st novice men and both women's novice crews rowed - experiences which will be really useful for the Clare Novices and Novice Fairbairns. The 1st women's IV also entered and, joined by some recent leavers (members of the 'old boys' club - Black Prince Boat Club), won Senior 3 VIIIs. (1 reply...)
7th Nov '02	Men's 2nd 4 wins Uni IVs	by AHLF
Congratulations to the Men's 2nd 4+ on their victory today, and on their winning the competition. Yet another indication that there are great things in store for us this year...
19th Aug '02	Commonwealth Regatta	by jpd
Emily Booker, rowing in the English Women's Lightweight Quad, won a gold medal. They beat Wales by two lengths, who beat Northern Ireland by a similar margin. Simon Knight was also racing in the Welsh Men's Eights, but unfortunately was not so successful. Congratulations to them both, hopefully forging the path for others from the club on to the international rowing scene. (1 reply...)
19th Jun '02	May Bumps	by mcp
The results for all our crews can be found in full on the May Bumps results page. Our top crews performed well - the May VIII stayed level at 9th, whilst the 2nd, 3rd and 5th VIIIs all rose comfortably. The women's 1st VIII went up 1. Many of the lower crews suffered, but the club is proud of everyone's efforts - most notably those of the 4th VIII - who remained the highest 4th VIII on the river - and the 6th VIII who avoided spoons with a gutsy and exciting row on the final day. Well done to everyone involved. Watch this space for photos and other additions including the famous 2nd VIII song! (1 reply...)
9th Jun '02	Peterborough Summer	by jpd
2nd VIII in MS4 8+ With John Earl and Joe Grundy subbing for Matt Byrne and Hugh Colvin/Martin Peck In our heat we had a strong row to come second to Emma I (the Head Crew) by only 1 second in a time of 3:09 (only 3 seconds off the MS4 8+ course record)! Heat winners went straight into the Final, second place to the repercharge. In the repercharge, we again had a good row, although not as aggressive as in the first race. We lost to Winchester School. Stern IV in MN 4+ In the largest event of the day with 20 entries Our heat was our first race of the day. We had a very good start and surged to a very smooth 38. After 300m we were 2 lengths up on our opposition, at which point the rate dropped and we held our lead to win our heat in 3:37. In the semi, with two crews going through to the final, and with Will and I trebling up, we had decided that if we were a comfortable second after 500m we would just aim to hold that. In the race, despite being second at 500m we pushed through our opposition to take the lead. At 750m, they had obviously taken the rate down to save themselves for the final. We followed their change to remain about a length in front. In the final, as in our heats, we lost ground off the start. At 500m Sam told us we were rowing through them, and despite two near-boatstopping incidents between then and the line we pushed all the way to take the win in 3:24 (the course record for MN 4+). MS4 4+ In the heat (from Cox): Sam Adams, Henry Clouting, Will Thorne, Maris Goldmanis, Dan Walker. Jon Davies for Henry Clouting in the repercharge. I didn't see the heat, but from what I could gather the crew had a technical row to claim second, and a place in the repercharge. The repercharge was not a great race - we had jumped straight from the VIII to the IV, with Will and I having done the MN 4+ just before that. The boat felt very heavy, and at 600m it was obvious we were out of contention, so we took the rate down to save ourselves.
