{italic}Bumped Robinson – {bold}Awarded Blades{endbold}{enditalic}
So this was it – up 3 in three days, and this was the one that mattered. We knew it should be possible – the previous day we\\’d bumped Pembroke II when they were just an canvas off Robinson, effectively making up 2 and three quarter lengths on the Robinson crew by the time we\\’d bumped – but Pembroke II had been a difficult bump and today we expected pressure from behind for the first time. One mistake could ruin the whole thing.
No matter how many times Sparky told me that \\\up 3 is a fantastic result for any crew\\\”
