At the Fours Head, all senior crews had strong races, with the two coxed fours coming 2nd and 14th and the coxless four finishing in 12th position. The J16s raced a coxed four, which put in a good effort, in a difficult competition, to finish 18th. At Wallingford Head, unfortunately only the 1st division were able to compete, due to increasingly inclement weather which made racing against a strong stream and heavy winds difficult even earlier in the day. Our senior 8+ raced in the U23 category, stepping up into battling it out with some university crews to finish a respectable 8th. Two senior coxed fours raced in the J18 category, coming 2nd and 5th, and enjoying some encouraging pre-race chat with their competitors at Brookes. The first term of the year has shown promising results, and it looks as if we are set to have a strong season this New Year.
