SSBC's University Rowers Head For Henley

Posted: Saturday 20 March 2010, 1:05PM by Tasha Scott

After six months of intensive training, the Cambridge University Women's Boat Club (CUWBC) crews transfer to Henley tomorrow to begin their final boat race preparations, and SSBC is proud to announce that three of our oarswomen will be among them. Trialists Carys Rowlands, Nora Staack and former Captain of the Boats Lisa Meegan were all successful in this year's selections and will represent Cambridge against Oxford. Carys will row in the three seat of the Cambridge Blue Boat, while Lisa and Nora will both row in the Lightweight crew, at 5 and bow respectively.

The races will be held next Sunday, 28th March, over 2000 m at Henley-on-Thames, with further details including a race day schedule given on the Henley Boat Races web site. Carys, Nora and Lisa would greatly appreciate any Sidney support, and would like to encourage as many people as possible to head to Henley to watch what promises to be a great day of racing.

Also representing Cambridge next week will be the stroke of SSBC's blades-winning Men's First Lent VIII, Tim Scholtes. Alongside his college training, Tim has been stroking the Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club (CULRC) Spare IV, and will be taking on OULRC's spare IV in a 1000m race on Henley Reach on Friday.

SSBC would like to wish Carys, Nora, Lisa and Tim the best of luck for their races next week. GDBO.
