Row over behind Queens W1

After rowing over behind Queens on day three the aim today was to make a massive move off the start to try to gain on Queens as much as possible to give us the best chance of getting the bump. We had a very strong start and had almost got a whistle on Queens by Grassy. However, we were too evenly matched and crossed the finsh line with a strong row over.

Although we met our match in Queens W1 (well done to them), we did succeed in reaching our goal of crossing the finish line knowing that we had rowed our absolute best and emptied the tanks. 

W1 finished +2 and 12th on the river, which we believe is the highest Catz has been placed since the early 2000s. This puts us in a fantastic place to push to get into the top 10 in the first division next year. 

Thank you to Georgie Plunkett for coaching us this term and preparing us mentally and physically so we peaked at exactly the right time, we couldn't have done it without you.

Next in the schedule for W1 is Henley Women's Regatta 21st-23rd June.
