The Raven Has Landed

After months, if not years of haggling, borrowing, begging and bartering the club has finally bought a new men’s eight. The new Aylings AX2, named Raven, was picked up at the weekend and is now in the boathouse waiting for her maiden outing.

The trouble is there are so many injuries plaguing the 1st 8 that it looks likely to stay in the boathouse for a few more days yet. Steve seems to be having particular difficulty with a mysterious wrist injury, however accusations that he developed the swollen wrist while trying to relieve stress after reading the BBC article mentioned a few days ago are unproven….

...don't think those grungy lads at St Paul's School were referring to a bird when they came up with 'Raven'
