After many hours of training involving early morning sessions, and the requirement not to drink any beer, the time has finally come to prove that CBRC's men can cut it with the elite of the rowing world.
At 5.30 this afternoon (Wednesday) the men's 8 will be lining up against the Combined Services in the first round of the Thames Challenge cup. The boys should be quietly confident that they should be able to progress to the second round, as it has been reported that the services crew are a little short on boat time and were looking a little ropey on the water the other day.
Lets hope they can surpass the results of the clubs recent years at HRR as I don't believe we have had a crew pass the first round of Henley Royal for quite a few years!
All results are available on the official site, but be sure that Gurt will be keeping his ears to the ground - lets hope they are still racing on Friday as there are rumours that there will be quite a large contingent of the CBRC posse donning there posh frocks and/or blazers for a few PIMMS by the river.

Good luck old timers!

Who said I was going to forget the vets... if it wasn't for you lot we would all be speaking German!!
There will of course be a full report in the run up to next weekend - It will however be fighting for column inches with the pinnacle of local rowing that is the mighty Llandaff regatta!!
Yippeeeeee! They won!
