The Selwyn first men’s crew had a triumphant week in the Cambridge May Bumps, which took place from June 8th to 11th. They went up six places in the first division, starting with an over-bump --- overtaking two boats that had bumped and catching another one --- on the opening day. There was then a bump on each of the next three days, meaning that the crew have earned their blades. Huge congratulations to them all! Selwyn’s crew included our University Blue and Boat Race winner Felix Newman, and he is pictured below (4th from left) with his colleagues.
The line-up was:
Cox: Will McDermott
Stroke: Felix Newman
7: Charlie Nye
6: Charlie Cullen
5: Robert Galbenu (C)
4: Marcos Gallego
3: Harry Prudden
2: Sam Pettinger-Harte
Bow: Nigel Coburn
It was a much tougher week for our other men and women’s crews, three of whom suffered 4 bumps. But to read more about M1’s week, and all other boat club matters, click here https://www.facebook.com/SelwynCollegeBC or here https://selwynrowing.wordpress.com.
A number of the blade-winners from M1 were among alumni and friends who attended an open day at our new Boathouse on Sunday June 12th. The photo shows Marcos Gallego and Nigel Coburn (centre).
