The JCBC term card is now online, click here.

After a fantastic week of racing, JCBC have finished Torpids 2012 with an impressive overall bumps score of +8! This places us 7th out of 36 competing colleges, a result to be proud of.

A great performance from M1 saw them rise two places in division 2, and W1 fought valiantly to also remain in division 2, with some superb racing.

M2 were hampered by last minute injury and had a sub for the duration of Torpids, however they managed to end their bumps drought on Wednesday with a hit on Hertford II. Unfortunately the rest of the week was less successful, finishing -3.

W2 stole the show with a truly excellent performance every day of Torpids, and all term. They trained hard and outclassed every crew around them, finishing +6. Not only did they win well deserved BLADES, but also have reached the fixed divisions for W2 crews of the future. Many congratulations to the crew, and to their coach, Ben.

The finalists’ crew, W3, also put in a huge effort, gaining +5 and BLADES, a great achievement for all involved.

Well done to everyone taking part this year, it has been on of the most successful Torpids in recent times for JCBC. I hope you all enjoyed the week as much as I did.

Thursday was another good day of racing for JCBC, we have retained our +6 tally overall from the following Thursday results:

• M1 +1 bumped St Peter’s, who started 2 places ahead, well done!
• M2 -1 bumped by Lincoln, for a level score overall
• M3 -1 Somerville took revenge to leave the DreamTeam with a level score
• W1 -1 A strong row saw W1 unable to avoid a bump from L.M.H.
• W2 +1 bumped Green Templeton for a perfect Torpids so far!
• W3 +1 bumped Lincoln for a score of +3 in 2 days!
