Today the second race – and first UH event – of the year gets underway, this time hosted on our home turf. The UH Novice Regatta is a day packed full of sprint races and puts novice crews in the spotlight, giving them an 800m stretch of river to put the power down and show-off what they have learned. Looking forward to seeing people down for the first race at 9am (more info on the draw here: http://www.uhboatclub.co.uk/regatta_draw_12.html) and even more so for the medal ceremony, where RUMSBC can hopefully secure the first of many medals to come!

Training hard on and off the water, they have the legs and steely edge to see off all adversaries. If they give it their all on every stroke then they will smash Novice sprints." - Matt Kinsella, Men's Novice Captain 17/18 Women's Novices Women's Novice Boat A Cox: Greg Gibson Stroke: Serena Lu 7: Laura Dan 6: Hannah Roberts 5: Annalise Munro 4: Federica Ezennia 3: Alisa Rasch 2: Gracie Sutton Bow: Fiona Chegwidden Women's Novice Boat B Cox: Greg Gibson Stroke: Eve Kerins 7: Rojah Thayabaran 6: Ceyda Oral 5: Alex Robinson 4: Esha Dandekar 3: Liv Dunseath 2: Yemi Talabi Bow: Jade Kayran "The novices have put so many hours of training on the water, and this is where we'll show everyone that #thisgirlcan!" - Nicola Skajaa, Women's Novice Captain 17/18 Senior Men Men’s Second VIII Cox: Chris 'Beans' Jackson Stroke: Jack Merritt 7: Ollie Marwood 6: Jack Illingworth 5: Alex Lane 4: Sean Donaghue 3: Ben Wardner 2: Adam Jones Bow: Ben Southgate "After selection last week the dust has settled and the crews have been learning to adapt their rowing to each other. This weekend we see what our Men’s 2nd VIII are made of! We seek to demonstrate that selection was no easy task and show the high level of rowing and depth of squad. UH sprints is a very different race to Cambridge head and the crew has adapted training to fierce explosive short distances. We look forward to testing our mental resilience as we approach the 800m stretch on Sunday! In the final two weeks of term RUMSBC men’s squad will head toward the new year hopefully donning well-earned medals – that all starts tomorrow at 1pm. Don’t miss it." - Jamie Glenister, Men's Captain 17/18
