Results from Michaelmas
Term 2000
Due to the poor
weather over the last month, many of this term's races have been cancelled,
so our crews haven't seen as much action as usual! The few results
we do have are listed below...

Autumn Head
Cam Winter Head
Clare Sprints
Fairbairn Cup
Cambridge
Autumn Head
Saturday 28th October
This is a 2.6km
Head Race organised by Rob Roy Boat
Club. Despite a ferocious head wind, the Senior Women's 2nd IV
recorded a time of 16:22. (Not bad for a crew that had only had four
outings!) The complete results are listed here.
Cambridge
Winter Head
Saturday 18th November
This was a Head
Race organised by Cantabrigian Rowing Club and
was the first proper race for the Novice Crews. The Men put in a solid
performance to finish 9th in their division, and the two Women's Crews
were virtually neck-and-neck, finishing just three seconds apart!
Fairbairns is the next Head Race for the Novices and judging by these
results, there's everything to play for...!

Clare
Sprints
Thursday 23rd to Saturday 25th November
This is a knock-out
competition consisting of 800m side-by-side races for Novice Crews
only, organised by Clare
College Boat Club. Clare Sprints is always fast and frantic racing
for the Novice Crews, as crews sprint side-by-side for a place in
the next round. 'A' Boats compete in the Cup Competition, 'Lower'
Boats compete in the Plate Competition.This year, many of our crews
were particularly unlucky as they all met some very good boats early
on in the competitions. Otherwise, they could all have made it much
further. Instead, they will now have to wait until Fairbairns to demonstrate
their true potential!
Men's Novice A
Men's Novice
A were knocked out by 1st & 3rd A in the first round. Hard luck
for our A boat as 1st & 3rd A went on to win the cup competition.
Men's Novice B
Men's Novice
B knocked out St Catz C in the first round, but were narrowly beaten
by Queens' B, who went on to win the plate competition.
Women's Novice A
Women's Novice
A were knocked out in the first round by a very good Peterhouse A
crew.
Women's Novice B
Women's Novice
B beat Selwyn B in the first round, but had to withdraw before the
next round due to their 'over-experienced' crew! (Selwyn B went on
to reach the semi-finals)

Fairbairn
Cup
Thursday 30th November and Friday 1st December
This is a 4.3km
Head Race for the Senior Crews and a 2.7km Head Race for the Novices,
organised by Jesus
College Boat Club.
The Fairbairn
Cup is the final race of the term, and the one that both senior and
novice crews have been training for over the past eight weeks. It
is unusual in that crews race downstream, starting from Jesus College
Boat House with Novices finishing at the end of the Reach and Seniors
finishing by the Little Bridge.
