CULRC are off to China

Henley Royal Regatta
Yesterday CULRC lined up against Eton in the first round of the Temple Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta.
The weather was clear and hot, and the wind, which had been changeable through out the day, had swung to the south making it a moderate headwind.
Both crews started well striking in the high 40s. Coming off the end of the island Eton made their extra 3 ½ stone per man count into the headwind and put in an early push to take a ½ length lead by the barrier.
Lightweight Mens Boat Race 2010
Cambridge made it two wins in a row in this years Lightweight Boat race.
Both crews had shown good speed in warm up fixtures against crews from London RC, Goldie, Leander, UL and Bristol University, and looked sharp in the build up to the race. Oxford won the toss and chose the Berks station with the better of the strong stream conditions.
