Sons of the Thames defeating QBC by 3 1/3 lengths in the semi-final of the Wyfold Cup. To reach the semi-final, Quintin had beaten Notts & Union by ½ length in the first round, Molesey by a length and a third in the second round and Durham University by 1½ lengths in the quarter final.
The QBC crew was Bow, Malcolm Sheppard, strs; 2, Ray Tollman; 3, Bob Wilson; Stroke, Dave Alderson. Coach, Ron Needs.
The QBC crew reassembled in the October of that year, with Tom Bakiewicz replacing Malcolm Sheppard, and won, outright, the IV's HOR, so beginning the clubs sequence of five victories in that event. Sheppard's consolation was to row in three of those subsequent winning crews.
In 1965 Quintin's Wyfold four of Bakiewicz, Tollman, Wilson and Alderson broke the Barrier record in the first round but lost the race to a Derby crew who equalled the Fawley record and the course record in the process. There can't have been many Henley races where the losing crew has broken one of the intermediate records.
