May Bumps 1995

Men's 1st VIII

Wednesday

The first day saw Downing II escape the mighty Kings by hitting Jesus II leaving a simple row over.

Thursday

Jesus II in front was quite a battle. With the boat closing over the first few minutes of the race, we saw a canvas gap by Ditton Corner. Neither crew was able to find that extra boat speed necessary to settle the matter, both giving everything along the reach. Finally we managed to pick it up at the White House and began to close the gap hitting Jesus around the Pink House.

Friday

Again chasing Downing II, and again they bumped up, this time on Selwyn I, to leave us another row over.

Saturday

With the chance of hitting another first eight - especially one from our boathouse, and denying Girton I their blades the crew got off to a good start. Starting to hit Selwyn's rough water in the gut the crew never really settled down, and by the time that control had been regained, Girton had smelt blood along the Plough Reach. The bump was made outside the Plough.

Men's 2nd VIII

Wednesday

Unable to make any impact on Downing III in front, the crew rowed away from the crew behind, Magdalene III, who were hit by CCAT I. However that left the way clear for eventual blade winners Churchill III for the overbump.

Thursday

Some revenge was had by hitting Magdalene III to make up one place lost on wednesday.

Friday

Again rowing away from Madgalene, this time hit by Pembroke III, the crew fell open again to the threat from Robinson II, who overbumped.

Saturday

With the crew chasing Magdalene III yet again, at least the bump was certain.

Men's 3rd VIII

Wednesday

The week started well for the 3rd VIII by hitting Trinity Hall IV.

Thursday

Unable to make any impact on Downing IV in front, both crews rowed over.

Friday

With nowhere to go in front, Kings III fell victim to Girton III.

Saturday

With the faster Girton crew in front, and crews bumping out behind, Kings III was left to row over.

Women's 1st VIII

Wednesday

Unable to catch up Corpus I in front, the crew rowed over with crews bumping out behind.

Thursday

Jesus II behind hit QMABC, unable to escape by hitting Corpus.

Friday

QMABC fell foul of LMBC II on friday.

Saturday

Peterhouse proved too strong for the crew on the last day.

Men's 3rd VIII

Rich "Bill Wyman" Smart
Despite puuling prowess at Cindy's, has not yet applied this to an oar!!!
Lambie
Let's hope he doesn't scream as much in bed as he does in the boat!!
Leon
Remembered for his lack of concentration on the warm up as Divison III Women are on the way back
Ian 'Middlers' Middleton
Lots of effort, lots of splash, lots of sweat - but his pulling at Cindy's is still no better in the boat
Andy 'Space Cadet' Ellis
Worse lycra than the 1st VIII
Roger/Ed
Winner of record of most bumps starts for ringer!!
Dan Secretan
Has his own personal ideas about rhythm!
Roborob
Don't bother pulling Rob tonight girls - he passes out after 30 strokes!
Cox: Craig 'Terry Christian' Dean
But where are Dannii Behr and Amanda de C?

Women's (Serious Fun) IV

Rachel 'what was his name?' Hammer(ed)sly
Janni 'can anyone cox tomorrow?' Rodd
Liz 'squeaky' Reynolds
Jiny 'which end of the oar do I row with?' Stefanova
The crew overcame the minor problem of not having a cox, having a bow who never remembered the plug her hearing aid in, an average height of 5ft 2 and the best efforts of a Maggie cox to have a grest term's rowing. Special thanks to all the 11 people who discovered new coxing talent in our boat this term.
