Wednesday 21st July saw the 3rd day of Bumps, with more exciting racing.

Wednesday was Division 3’s day off.

Women’s Divisions

It was business as usual at the top of Women’s Division 1, as W1 (Senior Women) turned the race into a power piece to row over as Head of the River, racing along the Reach at around R20. Behind them, W2 (Senior Women) once again closed the gap on City W1 but it wasn’t enough for a bump.

In Division 2, the Coaches (M6) delivered a thrilling race for spectators by getting overlap on City M6 before the A14 bridge, and maintaining that overlap until finally getting their bump just after Ditton Corner! M7 (Poachers) were overbumped by Nines M5 and M8 (Hills Road) rowed over.

The Cantabs men’s crews are currently level for the week.
