The Great Trapmore Years - "Sir" Steve Leaves ICBC

The time has come for ICBC to wave a very sad goodbye to its Head Coach, Steve Trapmore MBE. He joined the club in January 2008, and since then he has brought the club to the forefront of university rowing and leaves it as a high performance centre for British Rowing.

Rigged for Your Pleasure?

Many rowers have rowed in slightly strangely rigged boats before, be that a bucket rigged four (strokeside, bowside bowside strokeside or vice versa), an eight with a bucket in it somewhere or a bow-rigged eight or four. Very few have been out in a boat quite like the one that ICBC attempted to row one cloudy Bank Holiday Monday morning.

Kirkwood Smashes Henley in the Face!

Henley Royal Regatta 2010: Strokeman Jamie Alexander Kirkwood has won the Visitor’s Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta as part of an Imperial, Durham, Leander composite. The lightweight crew were the heroes of the day usurping the heavyweight Leander ‘A’ crew into a headwind. IC qualified an impressive nine crews for the regatta with most losing out to semi-finalists or finalists.

A Conversation with Jamie Kirkwood

Forty-eight hours after becoming a Henley 2010 winner in the Visitor's Challenge Cup, POD catches up with ICBC's latest wonder boy Jamie Kirkwood. It's quiz night at the Duke's Head and in honour of the win the quiz team is named "Kirkwood Smashed It In The Face!" As the ICBC troops fire-up the brain cells POD joins Kirkwood in the corner. They are joined by Kat Holloway and Lenny Kennedy.

"Just don't hit the booms!"

E2- Kennedy & Lee Halted in HWR Final. Regain lead to break longest standing course record!

Henley Women’s Regatta 2010: ICBC’s Zoë Lee and Lenny Kennedy found themselves three lengths down in the final of elite pair’s after crashing into the booms and coming to a full halt. They jacked the rate up to 37, “pulled f-cking hard” and grinded down the difference before rowing through Osiris and taking the win. Despite the unscheduled tea-break, the pair also managed to smash the longest standing course record by seven seconds – the record was set by a GB squad pair rowing as United Universities in 1992. It was a good weekend for ICBC represented in three finals (E2-(win), E4-(win) & S2x).
