St Catharine's College Boat Club

We were warned that the lower divisions are chatoic, and so it proved. After an unfortunate crabbing incident off the start we eventually got our race speed up and strode well under the railway bridge. 30 seconds or so later the whole division was held up by bumps further up the river and the decision was made to re-row the entire division. We spun around and headed back to our marshalling point, grateful for a second chance only to be informed that we would not be involved in the re-row as the crew behind, Pembroke III, had been awarded a techinal bump for an earlier incident. Disappointed, frustrated and out for revenge, I'm confident a more positive report will follow day 2!
