Newnham Head 2026

This weekend saw a number of EBC boats take to the river for Newnham Head, a ~2,000m course, providing key racing experience for our rowers and coxes ahead of next month’s Lent Bumps.

M1 took to the course in Division 1, putting down a strong row to come home 6th out of 12 in their category. Likewise, W1 also put in a very committed performance and matched M1 by placing 6th out of 12 in their category!

W2 raced very strongly to a solid 9th place finish in their category. M2 also rowed very well, placing 6th out of 15 in their category and beating a handful of M1 crews.

W3 and W4 also raced, in what was the first senior race for EBC for many of them, with W3 taking a fantastic 2nd place out of 32 in their category! M3 followed up on their great performance last week at Head2Head with a strong 7th/27 in their category.

Crews will be back in action with side-by-side racing soon at Pembroke Regatta! FVV
