Yesterday saw Marlow regatta run in very testing conditions, with a persistently strong crosswind throughout the day. Unfortunately this meant that the regatta could not run to time, and IM3 8+ was axed as a result, putting paid to racing in eights for the 3rd VIII and Colts A. However, that aside it was a very good day for the club. Two wins were had, in J15A 8+ for Junior Colts A, rounding their season off in some style, and in IM2 4- for half of Colts A, who will be strong contenders for the coxless four spot in the GB France match. The VIII raced very well in reaching the final of Senior VIIIs, where they were very much in the race with some top class university and club crews. With a much better race profile, this was just the sort of confidence boost that the boys needed in the run up to Henley. Junior Colts B and the 2nd VIII both had to step up and race above their usual categories owing to early season success, but half of the 2nd VIII reached the final of Junior 4x, reinforcing their NSR result and securing prequalification for Henley. Junior Colts C and the 2nd/3rd VIII quad kept Mr Cross busy, the former leaving their fin and rudder in the warm-up lane, and the latter splitting a sculling blade clean in half...
Crews for Henley (other than The VIII in the Princess Elizabeth) will be as follows:
| Jordan | Fawley A |
| Metcalfe OS | Fawley A |
| Scott, C | Fawley A |
| Zaboronsky | Fawley A |
| Durini di Monza OS | Fawley B |
| Klebnikov | Fawley B |
