The Rowing Almanack for 1909 comments on the race, "Both crews started at 40, and First were the first to show in front... First were better together than their rivals, and maintained their lead at Fawley... Pembroke hung on gamely, and spurted along the enclosure. First just held their own, and won by a third of a length in 7m 22s."
