Lent Bumps 2026 Queens' Men I Friday

Queens' M1 started at station 15 in Division 1, chasing Robinson M1 (who bumped Queens' yesterday), and being chased by Fitzwilliam M1 (who had already bumped up twice). The race became a 3-boat concertina, with Queens' closing on on Robinson, and Robinson closing in on Peterhouse, with about a quarter of a length separation between each pair of boats. This resolved itself when Robinson bumped Peterhouse at Grassy. But both those boats failed to clear efficiently, and Robinson was basically stationary in the middle of the river, obstructing Queens', who had to stop (see around 4:34 in the video). Then, at 4:45, your videographer was toppled from his bike, and the rest of the video is not worth watching. The obstruction at Grassy was enough for Fitzwilliam to catch up, and they were able to bump Queens' down Long Reach, before the railway. However, the umpires awarded Queens' M1 a "technical row-over" in recognition of the earlier obstruction.
