NSW Men's Eight

1933 NSW Crew

NSW led from the start finishing 1 1/4 lengths in front of Queensland with Victoria well back. NSW tried valiantly to shake off the Queensland crew who got within a length in the later stages of the race. Finney, the three man of the Queensland crew, was blind as a result of a shooting accident in 1925. He was a member of the 1924 winning crew.
