We had 2 entries in a 3 way fight in the Masters C/D Eights, with our D crew, just coming out on top over a very good Medway crew. It was nip and tuck right down the course, but we were helped when their bowman caught a boat stopping crab on the finishing straight. The D crew won the event and came second overall in 15.44
The C crew (considering their development status) put in a strong row coming 4th overall with a time of 16.32.
Our boys in the novice coxed quad from Maidstone Grammar had their first away event, and did really well in a time of 17.36. They had no opposition, but only came half a minute or so behind 3 IM3 coxless fours, which bodes well for the future.
The biggest shock of the day came when our Masters C4+ picked up an unexpected win against Bewl in 18.20. In their favour was the fact they were only a couple of years below Masters D; but there are some doubts as to whether their opposition were all of the male gender... This was Thor's triumphant return to racing after a year's absence.
A really fun day out, just a shame there were so few entries. Hopefully we will be there again next year.
