Both crews eased through the qualifying races on Friday morning to confirm their places in the main event.
The 8 were then drawn against a plucky Putney Town crew who managed to steal 2/3 a length early in the race which proved hard to claw back leaving Bristol in 2nd place.
The 4 took Curlew by surprise and disposed of them right from the start, finishing with 2.5 lengths of clear water. In round 2 on Saturday they were drawn against a formidable Thames crew. Unphased by a near disaster when 3 decided to dismantle her seat when paddling up to the start the girls put in another explosive start and the boats were neck and neck by the end of the Island. However the Thames crew proved just too strong and the end result was a win for the Londoners by 3.5 lengths.
Good work girls, now you should be ready for the real challenge of Ironbridge this Saturday.

Bring on Ironbridge International Regatta, I can't wait!
I can't wait either, I've heard Jane has some plans for some kind of special midnight outing.
...do remember you all have to have 'matching' kit....
