Before the race, Lightweight Men’s President Matt Edge (St. Catharine’s) commented, “we’re ready for some great racing. Nick [Acock – Men’s LWT Coach] and Rob [Baker – Men’s Chief Coach] have selected two well-matched crews who’ll go at it for the full 4 and a quarter miles”.
Edge would have been every happy with the performance of his crew, which controlled the race from the Black Buoy onwards in perfectly flat conditions. With his BUCS Lightweight Pair championship pair partner Cameron Mackenzie (Caius) backing him up in the stern pair, “Business” defeated “Party” by 3 lengths.
