More woes for the boat club today, but fear not - the indomitable Churchill spirit will see us through!

M1: Bumped by Queens after Ditton Corner.

W1: Bumped by St. Catharine's after Grassy Corner.

M3: Bumped by Corpus Christi II.

Another not so successful day for Churchill, but W2 did brilliantly to get the first Churchill bump for a year! They did it all in about 30 seconds as well. Let's hope the rest of us get encouraged to do the same!

M1: Bumped by Magdalene soon after Ditton Corner.

W1: Bumped by Christ's on the way into Grassy Corner.

M2: Bumped by Selwyn II halfway up the Reach.

W2: BUMPED Sidney Sussex III before they even got to the corner by Baitsbite.

M3: Bumped by Magdalene III soon after the Motorway Bridge.

To cheer us up after that, here's a photo of the most successful Churchill crew for a year after their bump:

Finally, after long weeks of waiting the Lent Bumps are upon us! This year we have five crews racing, all looking to improve on last years results. The first men's and women's divisions don't race on the first day, but here's how our other boats did:

M2: Got bumped by Queen's M2 on Plough Reach. A good start, but too tight a line around the first corner (near Baitsbite) upset our rhythm. We got it back together well and held off Queens for a long time - just not long enough.

M3: Bumped by Christ's M3 on First Post Reach.

W2: Got a technical row over after the two boats in front of them bumped quickly and failed to clear in time.
