In other news, men’s and women’s crews from the boat clubs at Sydney University and Melbourne University are tailoring their training for the annual Australian Boat Race, to be held on Sydney Harbour on Sunday, November 4.
The fourth instalment of the resurrected match race between eights from the two universities will start at Woolwich at 8.20am with the women’s eights, followed by the men’s match race starting at 9.20am.
To ensure optimum spectator viewing and television coverage, organisers with the assistance of a number of NSW government agencies, have plotted a new 4.3km course. The 2012 race is to be filmed for later broadcast and viewers will see the harbour and many of its landmarks at their best.
The Edmund Barton Trophy is on the line in the men’s event and the Belinda Guerin Trophy being contested by the women’s eights.
A VIP lunch will be held at Darling Harbour following the presentations.
