| 9th Mar '02 | Womens Head of the River | by mcp |
| Because of yet more gusty winds, the Women's Head of the River Race, which our 1st women's VIII travelled down to row in today, has been cancelled.
It is a great shame particularly since college women's crews never usually have the chance to row it, because it often clashes with the final day of the Lent Bumps. | ||
| 4th Mar '02 | The Lents | by mcp |
| The Lent Bumps last week saw a good deal of success for 1st & 3rd.
The men's 1st VIII saw its first bump in Lents or Mays in two years. It turned itself around after dropping to both Caius and Maggie, to end up third on the river - down just one place after bumping Emmanuel on Saturday. The other men's crews also performed well, rising two or more despite loosing a day's racing due to heavy winds. Unfortunately, luck did not go the way of the women's 1st VIII - which was hampered by obstruction ahead for most of the week and overall also fell one. The women's 2nd VIII enjoyed themselves by rising a well earned two places in their three days. Our website has descriptions of all the races and plenty of pictures of our crews and other boats on the river. Many thanks to Richard Spencer, Jonathan Davies and Chris Stone for providing most of them - and there are more to follow soon. There are also some pictures from the Boat Club Dinner and bop - thank you jpd. | ||
| 22nd Feb '02 | Getting-on-Race | by arr |
| Two women's crews, the 2nd and 3rd VIIIs both competed in the Getting-on-Race this afternoon, racing other college lower boats to try and win places in the Lent Bumps next week.
The 2nd VIII, who have been performing to a high level recently, had a very controlled row, despite a slight incident approximately 15 strokes from the end. Their race was well together and powerful, and showed good potential for the remainder of this term, and next. The 3rd VIII, who until last night didn't exist, and only today had their first outing (the race), had a brilliant row, including a nice little scrap with a Christs men's VIII about 100m from the finish line. RTT, complete with CULRC lycra, showed surprising competency in his coxing, and steered a good line around the corners, helping his crew to register a very respectable time. Well done to all those who raced today, especially the 3rd VIII, many of whom were dragged in at short notice! (1 reply...) | ||

| Congratulations must go to the women's 2nd VIII who missed penants by a mere 4 seconds yesterday - beating the men's crew and finishing just 8 seconds behind the 1st VIII... an impressive performance.
I'll add the results to our site tomorrow, but the official results are here. (1 reply...) | ||

| Having watched most of the day's races, I have uploaded details of our crews' performances in today's Pembroke Regatta. Head to "Results" to see them.
Note that at present all the reports and opinions are my own and are not officially endorsed; if you wish to make any additions or changes simply use the feedback page! Whilst it hasn't been the most spectacularly successful day, watching the races from the towpath is brilliant fun - well worth the trip if you are ever able to. | ||
