| Congratulations to the 1st Men and 1st Women, who ended Saturday's racing with commanding rows over as Head of the River in their respective divisions. The 2nd Men and 2nd Women also won their oars this week with a fine display of dominance lower down, each bumping on every night of racing. Race reports here. (33 replies...) | ||

| 23rd Feb '07 | W3 and M5 row on | by ELT |
| Congratulations to M5 and W3 who succceeded in gaining their places on the River with two storming rows in the Getting-On Race today. M5 have by default also gained themselves the 5th eight Headship, as the only 5th eight to row on, beating several third and fourth eights in the process! W3 will take a place in First and Third history as the first (hopefully of many!) third women's crew to take part in the Lents. Good luck to both crews, and those with permanent places, in the Bumps next week. | ||
| 13th Jun '06 | May Bumps Racing News | by mcp |
| The May Bumps run this week, from Wednesday to Saturday. Here on our website, we are running our traditional results services and our new bumps prediction game, BumpIT. Follow the links from the front page for all the info! The Bumps are superb for spectating, so even if you aren't rowing it's well worth making the effort to get down to the river! Here are the division times: Division Wed-Fri Sat M 1 19:45 17:45 M 2 18:15 16:15 M 3 16:45 14:45 M 4 15:15 13:15 M 5 13:45 11:45 M 6 13:00 11:00 W 1 19:00 17:00 W 2 17:30 15:30 W 3 16:00 14:00 W 4 14:30 12:30 W 5 13:00 11:00We have directions for how to get to the river on the site and also some tips on where to stand which can be found in our guide to the bumps - again follow the links from the front page! On this thread on the message board will appear whatever news is posted from mobile phones during the week, and hopefully various other bits of news and banter as the racing unfolds. We very much hope that you will enjoy the First and Third site during the Mays and that the mix of results, reports, pictures and predictions conveys something of the excitement of this truly fantastic event. And our thanks must go to all the members who put time in to update it with their accounts and pictures of the racing. All the very best to everyone who is rowing, coxing or coaching - and of course especially to First and Third. Row hard. (28 replies...) | ||
| 11th Feb '07 | Clean sweep for FaT | by bjg |
| The recent Robinson Head was very successful for First and Third, with the club winning all four categories (men's and women's eights, men's and women's lower eights). This made the prizegiving ceremony very enjoyable, even if lacking in variety. Until recently, this was considered to be the best indicator of bumps performance, but the tide of opinion has recently turned, so let's hope for similar successes at Pembroke Regatta! | ||
