Pembroke Regatta Race Report

For the second year in a row, W1 faced off against Newnham in the Pembroke Regatta. Held this past Saturday, W1 was up against the stacked Newnham W2, a whole division above them in the Lent Bumps standings . Side-by-side along the Reach, Newnham pulled slightly ahead at the start with the Eagles close behind. While Newnham pulled away after the stride, our Eagles found a long and sustainable rhythm and began closing the gap as the boats crossed under the railway bridge.
Despite the closing gap, Newnham still sneaked across the finish line a boat length before our Eagles. With a rough draw, our Eagles were still proud of the fight they posed to Newnham W2 and rowed home in high spirits .
With the early start, they gathered at Eddies for a team Saturday Brunch before joining Hughes Hall Boat Club (and their W1 division winners! ) at the pub for a cross college social.
