We knew Emma were fast, and it turns out they were too fast.
Our start was reasonable, and we certainly didn't crumble under pressure, but they were soon bearing down on us. They managed to get overlap by the end of the gut, but we held them and began pushing away out of grassy, only to get caught by their push onto plough reach.
They rowed over bottom of M2 as we did yesterday (Pembroke naturally bumping Eddies in front), so we will be chasing them tomorrow. Behind us lies Clare II, a solid crew, but one I believe we can hold off.
Till tomorrow, and another joyous rowover.
FTW.
