โผ๏ธ SCBC TASTER โผ๏ธ
Join us from 16:30 at Univ Boathouse to get a taste of what our Oxford College rowing experience is like (the best)
If you ever wondered what all the hype and stereotypes are about, now is your chance to see! There will be erging, rowing and good chat โค๏ธ๐ค
YES OXFORD!!! ๐๐๐
What an incredible race. You can catch the #DarkBlues dominate on BBC iPlayer if you weren't around to watch the Boat Race live or in-person with SCBC!
(Extra cheers for previous SCBC coach David in 2 seat)
We couldn't be more excited for the Lightweight Boat Races today! The action starts at 13:25 with our own Rosie Thorogood in bow โค๏ธ๐ค
You can watch OUWLRC and OULRC row the Championship Course in London, or follow the livestream on Youtube!

SCBC's Torpids round-up! โ
To call it eventful would be an understatement. Each crew had their fair share of triumphs and challenges, but we couldn't be prouder of how they pulled through.
HUGE shoutout to all coaches, spectators and fellow crews who were a part of this โค๏ธ๐ค
โบโ* TORPIDS: DAY ONE *โโบ
W1 took two bumps today, but our pride took none โค๏ธ
They're back in the mix of Division 2 and on the trail for a revenge bump against @LincolnBoatClub tomorrow!
โบโ* TORPIDS: DAY ONE *โโบ
M1 rowed over today, leaving our long-standing battle with @LincolnBoatClub on a cliffhanger!
We'll be chasing @bncbc at the top of Division 3 tomorrow ๐

W2 got bumped by @univbc today, so no sandwich boat for us! But don't worry, we'll be after them in Division 4 tomorrow... ๐ฅช
โ IWL D RECAP โ
Somerville tore up the Isis again on Sunday :) WA and MA both ranked an impressive 8th place, out of over 55 boats! That's five places higher than IWL C. You love to see it. ๐ช
WB battled tough conditions and posted a time of 06:33. We are extremely proud โค๏ธ
Be sure to head over to our Instagram and Facebook today (@someboatclub) as we begin our first in a series of social media takeovers!
Today's "day in the life of a Somerville rower" is brought to you by the legend and captain behind THESE glasses -
โ IWL C RECAP โ
SCBC sent out not one, not two, but three 8s onto the Isis on Sunday!
Both MA and WA ranked at 13th out of 41 crews for the men and women's sides respectively! WB made themselves proud by posting a time of 6:06. Impressive representation for the Ville โค๏ธ๐ค
Massive well done to our coach David in coming second in his heat at World Rowing Cup III in Sabaudia! Best of luck in the repechage tomorrow! #smashanddominate
A strong finish from David Ambler, Matthew Aldridge, Samuel Bannister, Samuel Nunn sees them come through the Dutch crew to finish second.
Unfortunately there's only one spot through to the final but they'll get to build on this experience in tomorrow's repechage
