The new Filippi four en-route to win

The club achieved a 100% record at Huntingdon Head with wins in the Open Coxed Four category and Open Masters C/D Double categories. First off was the double comprising Chris Ware and Seb Walker which won comfortably despite the challenging bends in the course. The two then teamed up with Club President Tony Nelder, Sam Luke and Julie Hogg to give the club’s new Filippi coxed four its second outing and first race. Thanks to an unrelenting pace the crew were able to win and even posted a faster time than the winning coxless four.

Some thirty members of the City of Cambridge Rowing Club have returned after a highly successful training camp at Chester. With training across four days and involving members of the senior and intermediate squads, the club was able to hone it’s skills in preparation for the regatta season.

Sessions ranged from work in small boats, to battle paddling in coxless fours to some eights outings. The squad also found time to escape from Chester’s “escape rooms”!
