Eights 2019 Friday
Summer 8s Day 3:
W1: Today’s start was better for our ladies. However Brasenose proved to be a lot faster than expected and our beloved W1 was caught by the start of the gut once again. Will they get spoons tomorrow *for the 4th year in a row*? Will they be saved by a magic Swan? We don’t know… But they’d sure enjoy some cheering from the boathouse on the last day!
M1: The men’s squad unfortunately ran into technical issues when a footplate came off during our warm-up, and we weren’t able to fix it sufficiently before the race got under way. So it came off once again a few strokes after the start and our fate was quickly ended by the chasing Merton crew.
