Winter Head 2008 - A Club On The Up!

Posted: Sunday 16 November 2008, 10:14AM by Mike Marsh

On a virtually windless (apart from Daryl's gyppy tummy and Joe's usual problems in the 7 seat...) Saturday 15th November all 6 of Sidney's senior boats took to the river to compete in the Cambridge Winter Head, racing against colleges and town clubs from Oxford and Cambridge, schoolboys, other universities and some pirates...

A lone W3 crew took part in the 2nd division, putting in a very creditable performance despite some equipment trouble. The rest of the Sidney flotilla took part in the very very late division 5.

All the crews did really well, beating a lot of colleges higher than us in the Bumps, and M1 winning their category quite comfortably:

M1 - 9:09,
14th Overall, 1st Men's Student Novice VIIIs

M2 - 10:16,
87th Overall, 15th Men's Student Novice VIIIs

M3 - 10:25,
100th Overall, 17th Men's Student Novice VIIIs

W1 - 10:33,
109th Overall, 4th Women's Student Senior VIIIs

W2 - 11:10,
146th Overall, 5th Women's Student Novice VIIIs

W3 - 12:46,
220th Overall, 17th Women's Student Novice VIIIs

Well done to everyone who took part! Race reports to follow...
