"Quintin - possibly co-favourites - have been passed over [for being chosen as a selected crew] and left to prove their point in competition." [The Times]
Date | Result | Dist. | Barrier | Fawley | Finish |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Thu 3 July | beat Hereford | 2 2/3 L | 1.51‡ | 3.15 | 7.04 |
Fri 4 July | beat Cairo Police | 1½ L | 1.50*‡ | 3.07† | 6.35 |
"The Irish police crew, Garda Siochana, and Quintin still seem Sunday's likely finalists. If this is the case it will bring out a love-hate relationship in the Barry family. Olympic coach Lou Barry is presently coaching the Garda; his son, an Olympic silver medallist, is the driving force behind Quintin." [The Times] "Quintin had a harder passage throughout the week. On Friday they had to lower the Fawley record to 3 min 7 sec to get the measure of the Cairo Police" [HRR] | |||||
Sat 5 July (QF) | beat Christiania (Norway) | 2 L | 1.50‡ | 3.06† | 6.34 |
"though leading from the start, Quintin had to clip another second off the Fawley record, in order to clear the Norwegian Christiania Roklub." [HRR] | |||||
Sun 6 July (SF) | beat Leander | 1 L | 1.49† | 3.05† | 6.35 |
"Quintin led Leander by a canvas at the Barrier, setting a record of 1 min 49 sec, and then took yet another second off the Fawley record. Beyond Fawley they drew clear of Leander, but could never relax." [HRR] | |||||
Sun 6 July (F) | lost to Garda Siochana (Eire) | 1 L | 1.50 | 3.08 | 6.37 |
"Quintin chased [Garda] hard. Leading from the first stroke, Garda were two and a quarter lengths ahead at the three quarter mile signal, before Quintin began to pull them back." [HRR] Another photograph of the final |
