The generally high standard of the field and the fine rowing
of the winning NSW crew were overshadowed by the fact that for
the first time ever, the Victorian crew failed to make the final.
The results were:

E2: 1st WA, 2nd VIC, 3rd QLD
R: 1st NSW, 2nd TAS, 3rd VIC, 4th QLD
Final: 1st NSW, 2nd SA, 3rd WA, 4th TAS
NSW led all the way in a tight contest. NSW gained the lead
through the first 500 metres and strengthened that lead through
to the 1000 metre mark. SA made a strong challenge in the third
500 metres narrowing the margin and setting up a great finish.
However NSW moved away in the final stages of the race to win
by half a length. |
