18/11/2006 - FULLER'S HEAD OF THE RIVER FOURS!

Two men's S2 quads from Cardiff City RC travelled to London to take part in the annual 4's Head - one Cardiff City crew and one Cardiff City / Cardiff University composite. Both crews finished in respectable positions, with the Cardiff City crew 110th in a time of 19:47.0, and the Cardiff City / Cardiff University crew 142nd in a time of 20:06.19. This sets down a good marker for the season ahead, and both crews will be looking to build on these results significantly in the coming months.
