Mens four win S3 at Nines Regatta

An XPress Mens IV wins quarterfinal, semi and final of mens S3 division at the nines regatta, just before the thunderstorm. (Well during actually). Isa, Andrew G, Alan M, Bryan D and James G are all very pleased. It is Andrews first point in 15 years, having long since retired from the serious stuff and moved into purely social rowing. We were given tankards but really we were more pleased  with the free pint of beer.

XPress M1 bumps a lot for blades

XPress Mens 1st boat move from 9th to 5th in hte first division in Town  Bumps with 3 bumps!? Cantabs 11, Chesterton 1 and Rob Roy2 were all bumped and on the final night there was no row below position 4 because of an accident. Chris Lloyd, the president , awarded blades on the grounds that it was impossible for the crew to have done any better. 2 weeks later we were strangely moved up to 5th on a technicality.

Congratulations to Isa , Andrew G, Alan M, James G, Franco, Joe O, Ed G, Roy C, Jason B and spare man Ed . Special thanks to Clive Rees for coaching, who efforts have helped the M1 go up 10 in 3 years. 

Video of our Thursday night bump of Rob Roy 11 with Isa's coxing overlaid can be seen here
