Sadly, they then lost to Pembroke in the 2nd round

A good win for O1 over Univ, Oxford

An interesting article from @boatsing

Although it’s mostly about some bloke from Oxford 😉 it does mention Steve Fairbairn’s beneficial impact

Meant to say 75 years after his grandfather in 1951

[JCBC @thejcbc]

We like this too.

Really cool little stat from George Bourne. He rowed in the 5 seat of the @Leander_Club crew that won @EightsHead yesterday, 51 years after his grandfather Paul won for Jesus College Cambridge (also rowing in the 5 seat) https://t.co/CXpe34un4B

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Phoebe Penfold, women's captain of 2022/23. Phoebe passed away on the 9th of March
Under her captaincy, W1 bumped up 2 places to claim the Lents Headship, then up 4 places, in Mays 2023 to claim the Headship there too.

[JCBC @thejcbc]

Overall, a good set of bumps for Jesus

On Saturday, O1 made sure to finish off what they had started on Friday and caught Downing to move up to 3rd place on the river (we feel that Top 3 is the right place to be 😉 )

[JCBC @thejcbc]

O1 had a very exciting race on Friday, chasing Downing all of the way, but not quite catching them. Downing had a slight advantage of clear water, because LMBC had crabbed near the start & Caius got a quick & easy bump there to claim head

[JCBC @thejcbc]

W1 faced the biggest test of the week, being chased by Trinity Hall on Friday, but they moved away progressively and were never in danger of relinquishing their headship

On Saturday they merely repeated that feat & successfully retained their position at Head of the Lents

🍾

[JCBC @thejcbc]

Correction: W2 bumped Corpus just beyond the Plough, but only just around Ditton corner.

[JCBC @thejcbc]

On Friday, W2 bumped Corpus 1 just outside the Plough, to delight a few Trustees who were watching

On Saturday they chased Fitz 1, who somehow managed to bump-back on Murray Edwards 1, leaving a void in front of them and no opportunity to win their blades (shame)

[JCBC @thejcbc]

They finish the week as the highest 2nd VIII by quite a margin. The price of that is that they are always mixing with 1st VIIIs.

[JCBC @thejcbc]

O2 bumped Homerton 1 (quite easily) on Friday and then rowed over on Saturday behind Girton 1

Up 2 overall and they finish as the 3rd highest 2nd VIII< behind Caius and Maggie
