A brace

It seems we have some super stars in our midst. Not quite content with beating all and sundry at MET last month, Billy and Sean chose to take on the cream of the crop at Nat champs this weekend just gone. A very respectable 4th place behind two Leander pairs and another from Glasgow Uni (it's worth mentioning that they stuck it to a pair from Tideway Scullers too).
Another crew worthy of mention is the Women's S2 4+ at Llandaff composed of Bronwen, Caroline, Zoe, Tracy and Capitano Lancaster doing the steering.

But before all this the mighty Crusher pounded the oppo, losing his N plates in the single scull at Ironbridge at the end of June.

Wins, people, wins! It's what we like to see.

By the way, if you think something is worth reporting, like someone touching someone else innapproiately or someone doing something hilariously amusing, then share it.
Especially naked stuff.

Cheers me darlins.

Morgan opens his legs for charity

Dear oarsfolks of Bristol,
the funniest thing that has happened for ages is upon us - Morgan is running a half-marathon! Please sponsor him at the link below, he's raising money for a very good cause:

If he raises £800, he has promised to run in a Bristol racing lycra. That's surely worth a bob or two!

No comment

Just... No.

Maundy Thursday

Oarsfolk of Bristol, for another year CBRC’s Henley Royal Regatta campaign is over. Both crews were knocked out on the Wednesday by some classy opposition.

The ‘B’ crew entertained first, with a quick start that gave Belfast a scare, before the Ulstermen gradually edged away to produce a 2 ¼ length deserved victory. Rumour has it that the ‘B’ crew improved rapidly in the days leading up to HRR, taking all challengers off the stake boat on practice starts, and retaining their coveted title of being ‘unbeaten as far as the Temple’! The crew were pleased with their row and have enjoyed their season. Their photos and footage on rowtv always seem to indicate a highly agreeable, technical crew, but ultimately without the raw power to really challenge the best (although if wind power is what you’re after, middle four can always be relied upon. Another curry anyone?).

The ‘A’ crew raced in the afternoon in a clash with one of the favourites Leander Club. And the boys gave them a great battle, going down by 2 lengths in one of the events quickest races of the day. The A crew have put in an awful lot of time and effort into their HRR campaign and it was no fluke that they pushed Leander all the way. Many punters on the bank raised impressed eyebrows to see our boys more than hold their own, and in the post-race handshakes the Leander crew knew they’d been in a race.

So, some well-deserved Pimm’s and relaxing on deck chairs now? Roll on Friday’s social gathering! And what next for the men’s squad? A big well done to the whole men’s squad, for all their efforts and commitment.
