What Happened
The Hammersmith Head race took place recently, serving as the final major event before the Women’s Eights Head of the River Race (WEHORR). This race provided a preview of potential winners in the women’s championship eights category, with notable performances from various clubs.
Why It Matters
The Leander Club, a prominent competitor, has two entries in the championship eights category and has shown strong form this season, including a sweep of events at the Fours Head in November. Despite a recent loss to Cambridge University’s ‘A’ boat, they remain strong contenders. Meanwhile, the University of London Boat Club, which secured second and third places last year, is also expected to be a fierce competitor after strong performances in previous races.
What’s Next
As the WEHORR approaches, clubs will need to adapt to the challenging river conditions on the Thames. The upcoming race will be crucial for teams aiming to secure top positions and defend their standings in the championship. The anticipation builds as pundits prepare their predictions for the coveted Head, second, and third place pennants.
