OUWBC | Balliol College Boat Club

Women’s Boatclub Now Has Three University Triallists!

Due to low numbers of triallists for the OUWBC boat, two Balliol girls (Jo and Christina) have been asked to return to the squad to help in the boat race against the Tabs at the end of term. Nehaal continues to trial with OUWLRC. Good luck to all three girls for when the crews get announced in the next few weeks!

This year’s Henley Boat Races will be held on Sunday 28th March. If you can possible make it, it would be great to have a strong Balliol contingent to support the girls.

The Henley Races

March 18, 2009 in Captain's Blog, John Blacker Society

This Sunday will see 4 BCBC members racing at the Henley Races.

Jo Williamson, Christina Schoenbach and Aelwen Wetherby have all secured their place within Osiris, the women’s reserve boat. Having beating their Cambridge counterpart by 8 seconds at Women’s head of the river last weekend, this promises to be a close fight over the 2k distance. However, with such a strong balliol body within the boat, and support from many on the side, we have full confidence that they will come out on top.

Jack Devlin will be rowing with Nephthys, the lightweight reserve boat. Due to Cambridges inability to form a second crew, they will automatically win the race, following a row over.

We hope to see as many of you down there!
