Oxford Women v Oxford Brookes #FixtureSeries 2 Review

Oxford Women were back on the Championship Course for their second Fixture, this time against hometown rivals Oxford Brookes University.

Oxford Brookes University rowing is one of the leading programmes in the UK and there are many members of the team who have either earned national representation or a on the cusp of achieving this. The programme aims is to produce outstanding rowers and athletes capable of winning at the highest levels and the club has many Women's Henley and Henley Royal Regatta winners.


Umpire Claran Hayes carried out the Coin Toss for the Oxford University Women 'B' versus Oxford Brookes 'B' - Brooke's won this Coin Toss and selected Middlesex.

As is usual, the coaches agreed the number and length of the pieces in advance. Andy Nelder OUWBC Head Coach and Hugo Gulliver agreed on two pieces along the course, with a few minutes break in between. The Championship Course runs from Putney to Mortlake  in a spectacular 4.17 mile race with advantages and disadvantage at each turn for the Surrey (South) and Middlesex (North) sides.
