This crew bonded well in the limited number of outings we had been together. We faced Homerton I in the opening round. We started off very well, taking at least 2 lengths off the four ahead before the start of first post corner. Our rhythm faded in the dirty water in the Gut and we took grassy corner particularly slowly so did not gain anymore water by the start of plough reach. Here the lack of fitness / extended pieces showed, as Homerton ground some space back. This theme continued down the reach and we were gutted to be knocked out by a margin of 20 seconds.
