The hard training and preparations has paid off for Rhodes University B rowing team this year, as they managed to win first place in the 2012 Boat Races in Port Alfred.
The 4.2 km race began with University of Pretoria affectionately known as “Tuks” taking a clear lead, and even though they struggled at the respective sharp banks in the Kowie River in Port Alfred, Tuks managed to keep their five yard lead.
With Intervarsity done and dusted, the annual Mutual Federal University Boat Race, which takes place in Port Alfred this week, will see the town fill up with university students from across the country.
