St Catharine's College Boat Club

The Women's side of the club entered two boats into University Fours this year, with the Division 2 entry winning the contest. Here's a breakdown of the events as they happened:

Women's Division 1

Day 1: Lost against LMBC

Despite a strong start, Maggie took an early lead in the race and held onto their advantage. It was a tight contest and the girls put up a strong fight, despite the fact that this was the first time their boat had rowed together. 

Bow: Erin Mickle
2: Charlotte Frost
3: Sophie Lappe
Stroke: Sarah Lucas
Cox: Fiona Worrall

Women's Division 2

Day 1: Won against Jesus

Jesus pulled out of the race at the last moment, allowing Catz a win by default. A little bit of an underwhelming day after the preparation the women had put in.

Bumped Emmanuel II

Given what was at stake today, the rowing up to the start was as relaxed and calm as we had managed all week. Barring one slight mishap where our boat almost blew into the middle of the river at marshalling, we were perfectly prepared.

Bumped Selwyn II

Remarkably, we managed to be in the boat for the two hours that it didn't rain! After yet another delay to our division while part of the W3 division was re-rowed, we were back in the boat and ready to go.

Bumped LMBC III

Rowed Over

We knew today’s bump was going to be a tough one. We had Downing III in front of us chasing an abysmal Selwyn III boat. The row down the start felt hopeful and the practice starts were better than what we had done so far.
