99s Regatta - M1

Posted: Saturday 30 May 2009, 11:57PM by Lisa Meegan

Last Sunday saw the Cam's final racing before Bumps, with 99s Regatta being held on the Reach. Exam pressures kept most of Sidney's crews away, but M1 were hoping to put in a strong performance in the Men's Second Division VIIIs.

A tough first round draw against Darwin, arguably one of the quickest college VIIIs at present (and the eventual winners) saw them beaten despite a good start and a tidy row, and they therefore moved into the Plate competition. In the semi-final they secured a comfortable win over boathouse neighbours Wolfson, opening up a two length lead, but unfortunately were just edged out in a close final against Kings M1.
