Thank you very much BTS - for making me correct my post - I should proof read before I post. I agree the window is closed for Joeys 2nd VIII.

If I am wrong however - I promise to do a chicken dance !!

All Schools is listed on AAGPS website as for juniors only. Seniors will do Sydney club regatta at SIRC.

Recalling previous grumbles on this thread(including from me) about the woefulness of the AAGPS website I can report that it has been revamped. Probably only just brings it into the 20th century but at least it has moved on from the jurassic period.

Scots and Riverview first VIII still seem to be closing the time gap on the big two . Four seconds can be lost or found week to week from mishaps, lane draws etc etc. I think any of those four could win on the day. Definitely not all over yet.

OK so I wasn't at Gold Cup yesterday and had to content myself with live results.

I know that being a tricky course it's not necessarily an indicator of likely HOTR results BUT.......

Shore appear to be closing on Joeys in 1st eight.

I agree with GPS Observer that it won't be fought between just two crews any more - Scots and View will at least be within striking distance. A welcome change to have others in the mix.

Shore will make ISIL work for it in the 2nd eight. Their Gold Cup win was an interesting turn of events and I suspect ISIL got a bit of a surprise. KT seemed to have a lot of time on his hands to chat up female coaches from other schools at State champs. Eyes in the boat, KT, eyes in the boat.

btw can someone enlighten me over the term "removed" ?? Been watching rowing for a few years and I don't remember seeing that before. DNS, DNF, DQ yes, but what is "removed"? and what was the situation? can't remember the crew or the race - eights I think but that word stuck out as odd.

Just looked - Joeys 2nd eight in the B final, embarrassing enough to begin with but then REMOVED.

Anyone who was down at the Lane Cove mudslide and saw the action, what happened?

in the heat joeys were looking to hopefully place second until the 3 seats oar came out of his gate, they came last in the end. Not sure what happened on the finish line, but I did see some angry boys.

It was the New boat that was coming second in this race and 3 seat lost an oar.

Mmmmm. I know Gold Cup has its cultish devotees but I will never understand it. The whole regatta I find deeply unpleasant from the shambolic foreshore set-up to the absurd lottery of lane draw and dog-leg.

So REMOVED is just anther word for disqualified. "Angry boys" - I have no doubt! I'm not a BRO but would be interested to know how common it is to be disqualified for swearing. Sounds like there must have been more to it than just a stray cuss.

They came first in the B Final but then were removed from results, I was there and clearly saw them cross the line first

You left out the almost physical impossibility of getting a fair line at the start
