May Bumps updates

Many congratulations to all our Queens' rowers on a very strong May Bumps. Special congratulations must go to W3, who earned their blades, as well as W1 and M5, who bumped in three out of the four races.

The women's boats continued their upward trajectories into the final day, with W3 earning their blades and moving up to the top of the fourth division and W1 rising 3 places over the 4 races. W2 were engaged in a tough battle with John's 2 but bumped them on the last day, thus regaining their place at the top of the third division.

Photograph, right: one of the Queens' women's crews rows back with the traditional branches in their caps to celebrate successfully bumping another crew.

The men's boats were somewhat less successful, with M1, M2 and M3 all being bumped on the final day. M4 rowed over in the last few days, so will start next year's May Bumps only one place behind where they started this year, and M5 bumped on all days except the very first, gaining three places over the week.
