Notes

• Wed 21 – Sat 24 May 2008

• Review from the 2009 Eights Programme

  Summer VIIIs was, as always, an excellent showcase for the rowing talent of Oxford, with the addition of the returning Blues rowers invigorating the colleges they went to, and spurring on those colleges who weren't fortunate enough to have some to train even harder, with impressive results being generated all round.

  In the top flight Balliol M1 were able to mount an impressive, and successful, assault on the Headship, with St Edmund Hall W1 defying anyone to take the headship from them. Both top divisions were subject to many changes as crews vied for bumps, with the hours of training being rewarded for the lucky few. In the lower divisions, the same effort was seen on all fronts, with crews ranging from those who had been rowing and training together for years, to crews of gifted novices... to crews of people who just realised that rowing is actually the greatest sport on earth, and wanted in on the action. The infamous beer crews once again did not disappoint this year, both in terms of the comedy provided, and even with some half-decent rowing in the bargain from some of them.

  Summer VIIIs is always the pinnacle of college rowing, with everything needed, from talented oarsmen and coxes on the water to the cheering crowds on the bank. This year was no different, and was a proud day for many in Oxford rowing. The organising Race Committee did an excellent job, and all thanks to them for providing us all with an event we can all look back on, and be proud.
