Quad makes it to Day Three at Henley Royal Regatta
A comfortable first round win as GUBC make their deepest run at Henley Royal since 2008
HENLEY-ON-THAMES – Glasgow University Boat Club were left as the last Scottish senior crew standing at the Henley Royal Regatta this week as the intermediate quadruple scull made it to Thursday in the Prince of Wales Challenge Cup.
In their first round they were drawn against a composite crew from Black Sheep and the University of the West of England, who they had faced previously at Marlow Regatta and again dealt with them comfortably, winning by a verdict of three and a half lengths.
In the second round, they were draw up against the much fancied Reading University ‘A’. While the GUBC crew put up a strong performance, they fell to the Reading quad by three and a half lengths.
