Results and league table

   

The event on 6 August saw five women’s teams and six open teams in some excellent rowing, with a number of near photo finishes. We had a clear four out of four wins by Hexquisite in the women’s but in open only two three out of fours. The results from Cambois are available as a pdf or a large jpg by clicking on the first image below.

   

Looking at the bigger picture, the overall league table after this round is here as a pdf or as a large jpg by clicking on the second image below. We now have two clear table toppers in each category. In the women’s category Tarnettes have pulled clear of Tarc-ing Heads, having had three wins against Tyne’s two. Tyne lost their other two races both in the last few yards, and were disappointed to have come so close to leading overall.

  

In the open category, we also have a clear leader now, but with two teams second equal. Berwick Expedition Crew are in front on 20 points, just ahead of Tynemouth Seals (whom they raced and beat) and Hextraordinary both on 19. Newcomers Cambois Cavalry won one race and pulled ahead of Tarntastic who have not returned since Round 1 at Tyne.
