Day 1 Queens’ II had been the target right from the very beginning of term: with every outing, every erg, our only goal was to bump them on Day 1. After weeks of training, the big moment finally arrived – […]
After a chastening first day and redemption of sorts yesterday we lined up chasing Eddies M1 (who bumped us on day 1) and chased by Pembroke M2 (who bumped Christs M2 yesterday), expecting a tough race. In spite of a […]
Sidney M2 had a disappointing first day, getting bumped early by a very strong Clare III. The only consolation was Charlie Spicer spotting the professional photographer on the row to the start and pulling a face that deserves to pass […]
W1 started their Lent bumps campaign strongly this year with a bump on Pembroke W2 in the middle of a four-boat sandwich with Darwin W1 chasing us and Pembroke chasing Robinson W1. Our start was solid, but perhaps not as […]
Ok, the row overs aren’t funny any more, but since when has bumps been fair? Once again, we had a quick start and moved up on Queens to get them to one length, but didn’t manage to reel them in […]
W1 started off the day determined to draw on the positives from our previous race rather than dwell on the unfortunate result. We started off our race with a fast start with the aim of pushing up on Emma W2 who […]
Another day, another row over. This one was more frustrating than the first. We started today hoping to catch Queens’ M2 off guard. We had a whistle on them soon after the motorway bridge, at which point Alex alerted us […]
M1 love bumps so much, they just had to row the whole course. With little pressure from Pembroke M2 behind, we had to settle in to our race plan and try to push up onto Queens’ M2. Sidney certainly didn’t […]
W1 would prefer to describe the race they thought they had rowed… W1 were chasing Fitz W1 and chased by Emma W2, who were themselves chased by a very fast Jesus W2. Off the start we found ourselves in a […]
M2 started off SSBC’s bumps campaign in style with a bump on LMBC M4! They have their sights set on FaT M4 tomorrow, who failed to bump Queens’ M3 today. Special commendations/commiserations go to Chris Radoux for cycling back to […]
