St Catharine's College Boat Club

Having had just three outings with our new coach, Lianne, we produced a solid row against a well drilled Trinity Hall to lose by three seconds.Trinity Hall went on to win in the next round before losing to Caius, the eventual runners up. The first half of the race seemed to be going our way with significant gains being made (we were drawn on station two, 120m behind Tit. Hall), however our lack of fitness showed as we approached the reach and Tit. Hall more than made up the ground against the fierce headwind on the reach - all credit to them for a well executed race.

The crew contained two newcomers to SCCBC, Dan Stein at 2 (First year medic) and Jonathan McCree-Grey (First year physics Phd) at stroke. Both have already shown themselves as great new assets for the senior men.

Training is now under way to put a competitive senior 8 into Fairbairns at the end of the month.
