Bumped Newnham

A textbook first division bump today. Pushing swiftly off Pembroke we began to grind Newnham down through First Post Reach, gaining our first whistle coming out of First Post Corner. A stronger crew ahead than yesterday meant the whistles were longer in coming, but aided by good lines and rock-steady psychologies we edged methodically closer and closer. By Ditton Corner we had continuous whistles, and stepped up a gear to finish the job as we came onto the reach. A hard fought bump, and a deeply satisfying one.
