HEAD OF THE NENE 2010
On Saturday 6th February, Cardiff University's rowing crews made the four hour trek to Peterborough to compete in the annual 'Head of the Nene' event, comprising of entrants from clubs, school and universities. The 5km stretch, surrounded by desolate land provided very little distraction for the competitors from the task in hand, and the grim weather offered little in the way inspiration.
The most outstanding achievement of the day was had by the women's coxed 4 consisting of Jess Lloyd-Jones, Margot Black, Helen Roberts, Jess Wood, coxed by Mathew Hetherington - who were on top form, coming first place in despite having had only one practice as a crew in preparation! All of the crews gave excellent performances against some tough competition, with the two senior men's crews finishing 6th and 7th in their respective divisions. The novice men came 6th in their race - impressive given this was their first ever competition. The women's senior 8 came 4th in their division.
So along with pots to prove it - CURC and their achievements of the weekend made their long journey home with the knowledge that in just under a fortnight's time they will have to do it all again when they return to Peterborough for the BUCS head race! They look to improve on their performances to take on the best that British universities have to offer - bring it on!
