May Bumps 2010

The May Bumps 2010 were a series of rowing races held in Cambridge with crews from the boat clubs of all Cambridge University Colleges, the University Medical and Veterinary Schools and Anglia Ruskin University from Wednesday 9 June 2010 until Saturday 12 June 2010. The races were run as a bumps race and have been held annually in mid-June in this form since 1887. See May Bumps for the format of the races. In 2010, a total of 172 crews took part (103 men's crews and 69 women's crews), with nearly 1550 participants in total.

Head of the River crews

1st & 3rd Trinity men's 1st VIII rowed over to retain their headship gained in 2008.

Pembroke women's 1st VIII also rowed over to retain their headship held from 2008.[1]

This was the second year running that there was no change in either the men's or women's headship.

Highest 2nd VIIIs

1st & 3rd Trinity II remained the highest men's 2nd VIII and their 15th position at the end of the week, bumping up on Churchill but being caught by a resurgent King's.

Pembroke II gained the highest women's 2nd VIII from Jesus II at the end of the week at 18th position, having started 20th.

Pegasus Cup and the Biggest Risers


Clare Hall won the Pegasus cup for the first time. The club's two boats moved up seven places up the rankings with the women winning and the men narrowly missing out on blades.

Caius III rose a total of nine places, moving into Men's division 3, by bumping into the sandwich boat position on the final day before overbumping on Queens' III.[2] In the women's competition, both Christ's II and Christ's III climbed seven places, each winning blades.

Bumps Charts

Below are the bumps charts all 6 men's and all 4 women's divisions, with the men's event on the left and women's event on the right. The bumps chart represents the progress of every crew over all four days of the racing. To follow the progress of any particular crew, simply find the crew's name on the left side of the chart and follow the line to the end-of-the-week finishing position on the right of the chart.

Note that this chart may not be displayed correctly if you are using a large font size on your browser. A simple way to check is to see that the first horizontal bold line, marking the boundary between divisions, lies between positions 17 and 18. The combined Hughes Hall/Lucy Cavendish women's crews are listed as Lucy Cavendish only.

The Getting-on Race

The Getting-on Race (GoR) allows a number of crews which did not already have a place from last year's races to compete for the right to race this year. Up to ten crews are removed from the bottom of last year's finishing order, who must then race alongside new entrants to decide which crews gain a place (with one bumps place per 3 crews competing, subject to the maximum of 10 available places).

The 2010 May Bumps Getting-on Race took place on 4 June 2010.
