A Winning Start to the 2008 Campaign - Sep 17

A CUBC Eight raced in the Bremen Achter Cup this weekend and won. The event held to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Bremen Club comprised a 4.5 km head race and a 0.5km sprint.

The CUBC boat beat a good field of German and Polish crews, including the World Champion German Junior crew, comfortably in the long race, and had enough in hand to win the overall classification despite being a little slower over the sprint distance.

The race enabled some of the newcomers to the Cambridge squad to be introduced to the CUBC and spend some relaxing time with their new teammates ahead of Tuesday's season start.
