GUBC race at Marlow in final preparation for Henley Royal
Strong performances for eight and quad set up promising Henley Royal Regatta campaign
WINDSOR – As they raced down the Olympic course, the Glasgow University Boat Club senior men gave good performances as they looked to set up the final preparations for Henley Royal Regatta.
The Marlow Regatta on Eton Dorney represents the final preparatory race for British Rowing’s showpiece event and the GUBC crew equipped themselves well.
In the eight, the Glasgow University crew performed well, finishing 5th in a very close E Final, while the highlight was the Quadruple Scull which made it to second place in the B Final.
Both crews will be looking to the Henley Stewards tomorrow to fin out if they have one enough to pre-qualify or whether they will need to go to the qualifying races on Friday.
