Rutherford Head and Feb Trials

After being postponed last November, we were thrilled to be able to finally race Rutherford Head. We fielded 3 men’s eights, a women’s coxless 4, three quads and a coxed four in the first division, and 2 women’s eights, two coxed fours and two coxless fours in division two. Although conditions were tough, we’re proud of how the squad performed, especially with BUCS Head just round the corner.
