Autumn FoursBy Ben Pilgrim. Posted on Nov 25th 2011 at 8:42AM.SJCBC got the 2011-2012 season underway with a good performance in Autumn Fours. Although the Men's IV initially lost to Lincoln after a scrappy first race, they went on to make good progress in the repechage competition. They beat Brasenose by two lengths and then New College by two lengths, before losing by only a couple of inches to Trinity in the final of the repechage.Eights Day 4: Blades for both M1 and W1!By Ben Pilgrim. Posted on Jun 7th 2011 at 7:54AM.Summer Eights drew to a close on Saturday with both the Men's and the Women's 1st Eights bumping for the fourth time to win blades.
In more detail on Saturday:
W3 rowed over again at 13th in Division 6 and provided much entertainment to the crowds dressed up like the men from the 118118 adverts. This meant they ended the week down 2 places. M3 were bumped again on Saturday to end the week down 3 places. W2 were bumped by Linacre II to end down 3 places at 3rd in Division 4. M2 were also bumped by Wolfson II to end the week down 1 place at 1st in Division 5. W1 bumped Teddy Hall at the end of the Green Bank to win blades. This took them up to 4th on the River, their highest ever position. M1 bumped Magdalen after about 15-20 strokes, after Magdalen messed up their start. This brought M1 blades as well and took them up to 9th on the River. This is their highest position for about 15 years.Eights Day 3: Both 1st VIIIs bump againBy Ben Pilgrim. Posted on Jun 4th 2011 at 8:01AM.Again Friday saw a mixed set of results for SJCBC. But whereas the lowered boats suffered, both the Men's and Women's 1st VIIIs obtained their third bumps of the week.
W3 achieved a row over at the bottom of Division 6 after a claxon was sounded shortly after the start of the race. M3 got off to a good start in Men's Division 6 and put water between them and Wadham IV who were chasing. However, Wadham gained slowly but surely over the course and after our M3 had two crabs coming on to boathouse island, they were bumped. W2 were bumped by St Antonys in Women's Division 4. M2 had a bad start in their race and unfortunately were caught quickly by Merton II. W1 were chasing Osler. They managed to obtain the bump just after the gut, after taking an excellent line. This moves them up to 5th on the river, their highest ever position. M1 were chasing down Teddy Hall in Men's Division 1. The pressure of them behind Teddy Hall pushed Teddy Hall up behind Magdalen and there were only canvases separating all three crews as they rowed under Donnington Bridge. Our M1 were successful however, obtaining a bump taking them up to 10th on the river.
