The Final Results

On the day

 The trophies have switched

Firstly a big thank you to everyone at Medway Towns Rowing Club and UMSA as without all your help and support the day would not have been possible.

The weather was beautiful and the water perfect, we couldn't have asked for a better day.

The day began with a ladies coin toss called and won by the Kent Captain, the London side of the river was theirs.

This was shortly followed by a Head Race with local clubs competing.

The university races then began with the ladies.

The ladies race was very close and competitive with Greenwich only staying ahead by a boat length most of the way as Kent fought hard to keep them back.

It was as the last corner was taken and the last stretch of water in sight that Greenwich ladies began to really pull away to win the race.

Greenwich 15mins 54secs

Kent 16mins 16secs

Overall, a very good race, well done to both crews.  

During the ladies race the men's coin toss was carried out with the Greenwich crew calling and winning also choosing the London side of the river.

As the ladies crews came in the men's crews set off.

As they the crews left the start Kent began to take the lead and as they approached the Medway bridge were starting to form a good distance between them and the Greenwich crew. 

The Medway Bridge came and went and the Greenwich crew tried their very best to draw nearer to the Kent crew but Kent had taken the lead and weren't moving.

They began to push harder to take victory.

Kent 11mins 14secs

Greenwich 12mins 39secs

Overall, another good race. 

To finish off the event the crews headed back to the Esplanade for the presentaions, to collect well deserved medals and trophies.
