Cambridge performing well at Henley Royal Regatta

The three CUBC crews racing at Henley Royal Regatta all made it as far as the semifinals with Charlie Palmer going one better and racing World champion Mahe Drysdale in the final of the Diamond Sculls. The Goblets pair of Wyper and Pearson fell to the top ranked Serbian pair. The young crew in the Prince Albert were a good advertisement for the newly revitalised Development Squad and showed high promise for the future.

Palmer has been named in the GB Team for the FISU student games in the single and will be coached by Goldie mentor Rob Baker.

Pete Champion who was a reserve this year is still in the mix for the FISU team and looks a good bet to be in the 4+.

The full Cambridge crew to race at the Great Race in September has yet to be named however based on these results and the rest of the season's performances they are looking to be strong contenders based on this season's results.
