St Catharine's College Boat Club

We Spooned.

I guess it was seen. Despite the valiant effort from my girls Pembroke had us at First post.

You could take that as an unsuccessful bumps campaign. You could say we didn’t do very well and weren’t a very good crew. I say the complete opposite. I say that it was one of my favourite bumps campaigns. I have spent a wonderful term with some wonderful girls. We gave it our all! And spoons or not, no one can take that from us!

The row today was short and bitter-sweet. A gutsy start and a short sprint did not hold Pembroke off. Churchill had promised us that they would get them but failed miserably! I think Pembroke had smelt the bump unfortunately.  Cucbc knew something exciting was going to happen as they stationed their chief umpires on our bump pair... probably useful as Pembroke forgot to clear (I think we have this effect on people).

I have to say it was the best row home (of course we didn’t swap cox and stoke or do anything else we shouldn’t....). By this stage it was all about just having a bit of fun. Some well earned booze at the Boat House and some memorable pictures topped off Lent bumps. And now we have BCD to drown our sorrows (I also hear talk of some wooden spoons being purchased).
