On Monday 18 November, St Edmund’s College Boat Club was pleased to celebrate the launch of a new racing eight to add to the Boat Club fleet. The boat, a Janousek, was named “Andy Harter” at a ceremony attended by the Master, Professor Chris Young and the Boat Club President, Kathy Begley together with other members of the College and guests. The boat purchase was made possible by a generous matched donation from Fellow Commoner Lily Bacon. A new set of oars were provided by kind donations from Fellows and Alumni. After a brief naming ceremony, members of the Boat Club put the boat on the water for the first time and rowed past to loud cheers from the bank. Good luck to “Andy” and all who row in her!

After a smooth row to the start line, Eddie’s W1 set off the racing term with a bang (kind of a weird siren sound actually- ask Matt, he does a fantastic impression). A really solid row, hampered only briefly by a log, gave us a good lead on Maggie W1 - finishing 9 seconds ahead and taking us on to the quarter final! The row up on day two involved roll ups, aquaplaning, suspension drills and quite a significant amount of pissing about. Unfortunately our impeccable discipline in these drills was not translated into better rowing, so day two was a little messy. Alas, not a disaster, day two was a win! On to the semi final! Day 3! Into the semi final and we were feeling ready for a good race! After a strong start to the race, a snapped steering line forced us to pull into the side and stop our race, crushing our dreams of victory (whether FaT were catching us before we had to stop is nobody’s business). But we had fun! Had good row home in high spirits despite the situation! Eddie’s has had a strong start to the year! On to the next race and big big things ahead!!  |
