Christchurch Regatta was discontinued after last year and replaced by Michaelmas Novice Regatta (MNR) organised by Linacre Boat Club. The Men’s first novice boat (A) had a fantastic rage against Oriel MB on the first day, winning by over half of the course! They were stopped from racing on days 2 and 3 (due to adverse weather conditions) and returned to race New College MB on the last day. The tough stream and its asymmetry meant they had to gain a whole length over the course. They, unfortunately, lost by a canvas, a fantastic row nonetheless.
The Men’s second boat in MNR lost against Lincoln MA on day 1 (who won against the first boat in Nephthys regatta). They were, unfortunately, unable to race the repechage and return due to the bad conditions on days 2 and 3.
