In the first set of races of scullers and doubles, the Queen's Women's Intermediate 2-, steered by Alex Greene, was the first women's crew to finish with a time of 12:00. Queen's Men's rower Aaron Kernohan placed 9th amongst the scullers with a time of 12:29.
The next set of races were pairs and fours, and the Queen's Men's Intermediate 4, coxed by Harry Davies, finished second overall with a time of 10:10, ten seconds off the winners, Bann Rowing Club. The Queen's Men's Novice 4, coxed by Chris Gray, finished fourth with a time of 10:54. The Queen's Women's Novice 4 was again the first women's crew to finish with a time of 12:34.
In the final set, the race to win the Men's 8 could be seen as a time trial between the two top Queen's Men's crews. Each had been given their own set of instructions from Head Coach, Mark Fangen-Hall, as to how to approach the race. The result was QUBBC Senior 8 A, coxed by Harry Davies, finishing first with a time of 13:31, closely followed by QUBBC Senior 8 B, coxed by Lauren Owens, at 13:50.
QUBBC Novice 8 B crew, coxed by James Byrne, finished fifth at 15:19, and QUBBC Novice 8 A crew, coxed by Chris Gray, following at 17:05.
The Queen's Women's Intermediate 8, coxed by Ellen Thompson, was once again the first women's crew to finish with a time of 16:05. The QUBLBC Novice 8, coxed by Alfa Yu, was not so far behind with a time of 16:28.
Overall, respectable performances by all Queens' crews, with notable competitiveness between Men's Senior A and B crews as well as Women's Intermediate and Novice crews. This should keep all rowers in these boats on their toes as the rowing season advances.
