EUSA Results: Scottish students rowers come away from the inaugural European Unis Championships with a clutch of medals. In the Womens Pairs, the Glasgow Caledonian crew gained silver. The Glasgow University M4- fought through a tough field to grab a dramatic second place, beating the GB crew in the process. Strathclyde University's ML4- finished fifth, as did the M2- who raced in heavyweight pairs despite being a lightweight crew, holding third place for the first 500m until being pulled through.

In the GB Universities team, Glasgow University was represented by two crews. The GUBC womens crew were unnoposed in WL4-, so chose to race at open. After a controvertial race from a free start, the jury decided on a re-row later in the day in which the GUBC crew finished just outside the medals in fourth. The lightweight Logan brothers took on some mighty opposition in the Mens 2x. Their race was also attended by controversy, as terrible conditions meant that a free start was again used; the double finished in fourth position, just missing a medal.
This event was attended by teams from ten countries, and many were composed of the National Under 23 squads, so the small Scottish Team did well to come away with medals. Alan Easson, Team Manager, reports that the European Championships will be held every two years (alternating with the World Student Championships), and the 2007 edition will take place in continental Europe.
