Reports
The Men's 8+ used the race as a training piece, rate-capping it to 28 as far as Downing Boathouse, and then winding it up 1 for each boathouse to the finish. This wasn't entirely successful, but they still managed to beat City into 2nd place by 3 seconds. All in all a useful start to the racing season for the Men's 8+ squad, and a nice shield to add to the collection.
The Mixed 8+ put in a strong performance to win the Mixed 8+'s event, despite being in rather fine fancy dress.
Grip and Shep's pair had some issues with slower crews, being forced to stop at one point past the boathouses due to some 3-abreast carnage ahead.
