After two big days for THBC, the results from this year's Fairbairn Cup are in! We had a huge presence on the river, with seven racing 8s across the two days.
First up and racing yesterday, were our three novice crews (NM1, NM2 and NW1). NM1 and NM2 both came 5th in their respective categories and divisions, with NM2 completing the course in a faster time than half the NM1 crews! NW1 have showed great progress over the term and finished 15th of the NW1 crews in their division.
Racing today were our M1, M2, W1, and Black & Whites Alumni Boat. All crews did really well, with a notable mention to M1, finishing the highest for any THBC M1 boat since 2019! M1 finished 7th in their category, W1 finished 3rd behind Pembroke and Jesus W1 - continuing a strong legacy from last year - and M2 placed 4th of all boats entered into the M2 category today.
The Black & Whites had a tough job with racing in the Open Category for invitational 8s. They still did superbly well and would've placed 6th in the women's invitational 8s (with the boat being 7/8 previous women's/NB side rowers)!
Overall, the club has done really well this week! With some of the best results we've seen in a fair few years, there's a lot to be proud of. A massive WELL DONE to everyone who raced, and good luck to those racing in the Christmas Head tomorrow! ROWHALLπ€π€
