Reading Amateur

Saturday was the last chance for the two top CBRC crews to test their racing speed before Henley Women's and Henley Royal Regattas. A hot and windy day made for tricky racing conditions but both crews started the day well to make it through their first rounds.
The men's 8 then went on to win 2 further rounds to make the final at S3 but were beaten by some unusually large school boys.
The ladies 4+ put up a good fight against University College Dublin in their second round at S2 but unfortunately couldn't quite beat them to the finish line. However there was some consolation in the fact that they looked the part in their new matching visors, it's all about the image!
