In the second round they were drawn against Eton Excelsior Rowing Club; our crew had a bad start and after some steering issues, they were beaten by a verdict of 1 ½ lengths. They progressed to the repechage round where they were drawn against Fulham Reach Rowing Club, after a good start and steering they overcame their opposition by a verdict of 2 lengths, and progressed to the final again meeting Eton Excelsior Rowing Club. In the final after a good start by both crews and some close side by side racing, the Claires Court Crew drew away from their opposition shortly after halfway and finished the race by a verdict of 1 ¼ lengths, for the crews first win.

This is all the more special as the team had only trained for three sessions as a crew in their PE lessons. Well done girls!
