Rowed over
With a strong Queens' crew behind us hungry for revenge after last year's skirmish we knew we would have a fight ahead of us today. Despite Queens' early gain to one whistle off the start, St Catz proved the tougher crew, keeping their heads and keeping Queens' at a distance.
We held them at a whistle to the Plough, responding to any pushes they made with pushes of own, and strode away from them down the reach, finishing the race a comfortable four lengths ahead. The grit and determination paid off.
