May Bumps 2019
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The May Bumps 2019 was a series of rowing races at Cambridge University from Wednesday 12 June 2019 to Saturday 15 June 2019.[1] The event was run as a bumps race and was the 128th set of races in the series of May Bumps which have been held annually in mid-June in this form since 1887.
Caius men bumped Pembroke, Magdalene and Lady Margaret on the first, second and third nights respectively to claim headship for the first time since 2016.[2]
Starting in 2nd position, Newnham bumped Jesus women on the second night to claim Mays headship for the first time since 2003.[3] This is Newnham's first 'Double Headship', meaning they hold Headship in both the Lent and May Bumps in the same year.
