Women's Eights Head - 7th March 2009

3.6 crews entered. Crew A finished 48th !!, crew B finished 148th, Novices finished a fantastic 201st (beating 99 other crews !!) and the composite finished 68th, not winning the veteran category this year due to the rule changes.

The A crew - a potent mixture of style, power and grace, unfortunately only one attribute per rower is evident.

The Novices - the future ?? (oh my god...)

The B crew, the nice ones.

Never let work get in the way of having a chat..

Later - 2 bruised & bleeding Cygnets out of shot and Ali about to prove that she can walk on water.
