At the 11th Intervarsity Rowing Championship held on 21st September 1997, CUHK rowers trounced their H KU counterparts in the men's coxed eigh t 2,500-metre rac e and recaptured the championship they had lost in 1996. The CUHK women's team also beat their opponent for the third time in three consecutive years in the coxed four 1,500-metre race and would keep the championship cup permanently. In the inter-university invitation race that followed, rowers from CUHK again proved themselves superior oarsmen and captured the invitation cup. Earlier on at the third Hong Kong Universities Rowing Championships held on 7th September, CUHK rowers also came first in the men's and women's doubles, and won the women's overall championship. The series of victories wil l certainly promote greater interest in the sport among CU students and build up a fine rowing tradition in the University.
