Darwin College Boat Club

And finally a special shout out to our amazing coaches for their support and help in getting us prepared for this week! We hope to make them all very proud in the next few days ❤️💙💛

After river conditions last term left our M2 unable to race in Lent Bumps, these boys are chomping at the bit, ready to give it their all! For many in the boat this will be their first ever bumps campaign, but you wouldn’t know it looking at their race starts 💪

Sitting in the middle of div 4, come watch the M2 Sharks hunt down their prey Weds-Fri @ 14:30 and Sat @ 12:30! 🦈

Coming in hot at position 2 in Div 3 are the speedy greyhounds of M1, Le Grand Cru! 🍾Like a fine aged wine, these boys are at the top of their game and are ready to show us what they’re made of.

They’re hungry for a bump to bring them into sandwich boat, and need YOU to cheer them to victory Weds-Fri @ 16:00 and Sat @ 14:00! 🔥

Next up in our May bumps crew announcements is our W2!!

After the disappointment of last term's cancelled getting on race, this crew is chomping at the bit to get some bumps action. Starting 4th in div 4, catch them racing at 15:15 Wednesday to Friday, and 13:15 on Saturday

With bumps a few days away, it’s time for crew announcements ❤️💙💛

First up is our W1 crew aka “The Short Queens”. With a whopping average height in the boat of 5’4, they may be small but sure are mighty 💪

Starting in the middle of div 2 the girls have been working hard to make their way up… Come out and cheer them on Wed-Fri @ 6:15pm and Sat @ 4:15pm!

Our novices men’s side during and after Emma Sprint this last weekend. Well done guys!

What a great day for our Women’s squad at the Peterborough regatta !!
The Novice 8+ held their own against much more experienced crews and even managed to get 11s off their time in the second race!
One half of the W1 crew had a lot of fun in the 4+ and even though they came 2nd in band 1 B final they were super excited and proud of themselves, they did after all have only 2 outings in the 4+( thanks so much to for lending us the boat ❤️)
And finally the crown jewel of the day was W1’s vicotory in the 8+ A final of Band 2!!! After a little sloppy time trial they brought it together in the second race, settled into their pace and absolutely smashed it(and beating even some crews in the band 1 😱)!! Well done ladies!!!!💙💛❤️
Huge thank you to our coaches and Francisco for being wonderful and supportive coaches, we appreciate your effort and hard work so much 😍 also thanks for that amazing photo of W1 racing 💯

Huge congrats to our Men’s and Women’s crews for doing the Head of the Cam this weekend!! Its been a long year without racing but we are finaly back and ready to work hard and get back to our top form!! And as a Bonus W1 won their division and are looking forward to getting the shot glasses and drinking out of them! ❤️💙💛

Darwin W1 makes history today as they bump up into the 1st Div from the sandwich boat position!!! Absolutely amazingly done ladies(and gents!!)! W1 worked really hard all term and despite some set backs managed to pull themselves up into the big leagues where they belong, riding high on the coattails of many previous generations of incredible W1 rowers
