A report from out LBCs on our EBC novice boats:
NW2- Displayed some impressive rowing and won their mixed division. Won firstly against Newnham NW2, (despite a blade popping out of a gate).They then beat Caius NW2, and secured victory against Hughes Hall NW2 in the semi final. Having won against the women's boats, they faced Caius NM2 in the final, where they secured the division title!
NM2 - Flew off the start, but a couple of unlucky crabs kept them from the later rounds. Some excellent coxing judgement meant they still finished the course strong and gained valuable experience ahead of Fairbairns.
NW1- The boat faced some tough competition against Wolfson NW1, who went on to win the div. But they rowed well together and their heads in to finish side-by-side when they started down, showing great resilience. On the row home, they raced Queens' NW1. Even with a few crabs, sharp calls from the cox kept them pushing hard for a competitive race.
NM1- Found a solid, chunky rhythm against Jesus NM1 but were unfortunately knocked out. On the row back, they delivered a confident win over Darwin by a full length and are raring to go for Fairbairns!
