Not the best of starts to a Bumps campaign ever - but there's a long way to go and with the first boats racing tomorrow, things can only get better!

M2: Bumped by St. Edmund's on First Post Corner.

W2: Bumped by Robinson II on Grassy Corner.

Lent Bumps run from Tuesday 23rd to Saturday 27th February. Churchill College Boat Club would greatly appreciate support from the bank!

The Lent Bumps are a very exciting few days, for rowers and non-rowers alike. While not as popular as the May Bumps, they are still a major Cambridge tradition which is unmissable! Support from the crowds really can make a difference and spur ailing crews to row harder, so grab something pink and get down to the river!

We have four crews competing this year, two men's boats and two women's. The times they will be racing are below:

Yesterday was the Lent Bumps Getting On Race, where crews without a permanent place in Bumps have to qualify ("get on") for the last few available places. There are three crews for every Bumps slot, so competition can be pretty fierce! The race is a simple head race upstream from the Little Bridge (close to the Motorway Bridge) to the post just downstream of the Railway Bridge - a distance of 2km.

As usual Churchill had two crews entered in the GoR, our M3 and W2. Unluckily M3 didn't "get on" this year, but were second of the crews who didn't qualify with a respectable time of 9:02.9. Always keen to show the men up, W2 did get on and will be starting 14th in the women's third division between Downing II and Robinson II.
