Wallingford’s women won again at the bumps races kindly organised by our neighbouring club City of Oxford RC.
This is a chance for club crews to take part in a really exciting racing format usually exclusive to colleges – 8s racing nose to tail 1.5 lengths apart in an attempt to get an overlap or “bump” (physical contact no longer allowed thank goodness, to preserve boats!)
Our crew of Emma Butler, Sam Hammond, Ruth Haigh, Kat Butler, Lucy Walker, Liberty Barlow, Mhairi Gibb, Jess Dukes and cox Jonathan Beckett, coached by Keith Settle, raced outstandingly to win the Division 1 headship, getting some rather neat little blades as prizes and a rather large trophy…
