Murray Edwards College Boat Club
Murray Edwards College Boat Club

Murray Edwards College Boat Club (MECBC) is the rowing club for members of Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, previously known as New Hall. New Hall was founded as a women-only college hence only fields women's crews. The Club was founded and known as New Hall Boat Club (NHBC) until 2008, when the Club decided to rename itself as Murray Edwards College Boat Club in line with the College name change. New Hall's early progress was good, taking the headship of the Lent Bumps in 1976, 1978 and 1980. A run of poorer results saw the 1st VIII drop into the second division for the first ever time in 2007. Since then, the Club has made a strong come-back, regaining a first division position in Lent Bumps in 2013. In the May Bumps, initial performance was good, taking the headship in 1977, 1981 and 1984 in the four-oared races, but in 1990, when the start order was re-organised, the New Hall 1st VIII were placed at the bottom of the 1st division and dropped into the 2nd division in 1992. By 1996, New Hall had climbed as high as 10th, but found itself in the 2nd division again by the end of 1998. The New Hall 1st VIII climbed to 10th by 2002, but fell into the 2nd division once again in 2006. The New Hall 1st VIII won the Novice pennant at the Women’s Head of the River Race in 1989. Better recruitment, coaching and continuing financial support from the College and alumnae community enabled the Club to build depth and breadth in its crews once more. From 2010 onwards, the 1st VIII had not conceded a Bump in either of the Bumps races, had earned a total of five sets of blades in five years and has been making progress on reclaiming a first division position on the May Bumps charts. Murray Edwards won the Pegasus Cup in 2011 after a solid performance in May Bumps, which secured blades for both its crews.

Robinson College Boat Club

Robinson College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of Robinson College, Cambridge. Robinson is one of the newest colleges of Cambridge University and its men's and women's crews both appeared in 1981 for the first time. The men's 1st VIII rose steadily in the Lent Bumps, competing continuously in the 1st division from 1998 to 2008 and rising as high as 9th in 2001. After briefly dropping into the 2nd division in 2008, recent years have seen a resurgence, with blades in 2010, 2012 and 2015 moving Robinson up to 10th on the river in Lents. In the May Bumps, the men's 1st VIII was in the 1st division continuously from 1995 to 2008, finishing 4th on the river in 2003. Recent Mays results have been mixed, with a brief foray back into the 1st division in 2011 before an unlucky year in 2012 dropping the crew back into the 2nd division. The women's 1st VIII have had a continuous existence in the Lents 2nd division since 1982, apart from a brief visit to the 1st division in 1992. In the May Bumps, the 1st women's IV dropped into the 3rd division by 1987 after being double-overbumped (dropping five places in a single day) on three occasions since 1982. Robinson's 1st women's VIII were positioned at the bottom of the 1st division following the reorganisation of the start order in 1990 when the May Bumps changed to eight-oared boats, and have spent most of the time since then in the top half of the 2nd division or the bottom few crews of the 1st, rising as high as 13th in 2000. Recent years have seen mixed results, with the crew currently 15th in the 2nd division in Lents, and 13th in the 2nd in Mays. The Robinson lower boats have had varying degrees of success over the years - recent highlights include the 2nd Women's VIII earning blades in Mays 2010, and the 2nd Men's VIII repeating the feat in both 2011 and 2014.
