Winter Head - A Great Day for SSBC!

Posted: Monday 23 November 2009, 11:30PM by Lisa Meegan

Despite the bad weather, Saturday's Winter Head brought great results for all of Sidney's racing crews.

M1 finished third in their category, and were the 9th fastest college VIII overall, in a time of 9:04, while W1, rowing in the windiest division of the day, were 8th= of the colleges and 10th= in their category in 10:54.

M2 were 15th in their category in a time of 10:20, making them the 10th fastest college 2nd VIII, and W2 were 5th in their category as the second fastest 2nd VIII of the day with a time of 11:22.

Racing in a IV, M3 achieved a time of 12:58 in difficult conditions, and W3 overcame a blade clash on the Reach to finish 13th in their category in 12:54 whilst being the only college women's 3rd VIII to race.

Also taking part were MNA, in their first ever race. Despite a couple of crabs and a brief collision with the bank, they finished 11th in their beginners' category, and 9th of college novice VIIIs, in a time of 11:16.

Also racing was Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club triallist Tim Scholtes. Racing in CULRC's 2nd VIII Tim picked up a pennant, winning the IM2 8s category in a time of 8:38.

All of the results suggest we can expect strong performances from SSBC in next week's Fairbairn Cup races. Well done to everyone taking part!
