At the 18th Intervarsity Rowing Championships held on the Shing Mun River in Sha Tin on 12th September 2004, CUHK rowers clinched four gold and one silver medals in the five matches organized for the day and captured the overall champion trophy.
The Intervarsity Rowing Championships is an annual regatta held between CUHK and The University of Hong Kong. In 2004, apart from the traditional Intervarsity Women's Coxed Four and Intervarsity Men's Coxed Eight, three other invitation matches were held which were open to teams from other tertiary institutions. The CUHK teams showcased their excellent prowess and team work in all five matches. Except for the Mixed Quadruple Sculls Invitation in which they came second, CUHK rowers walked away with gold in all other events. In particular, the CUHK Women's Coxed Four team won their third consecutive championship while the Men's Coxed Eight team succeeded in defending their championship title four years in a row. Cheering the CUHK rowers on at the event were Prof. Kenneth Young, acting vice-chancellor, Prof. Jack Cheng, University dean of students and pro-vice-chancellor, Prof. Henry Wong, head of New Asia College, Mrs. Clara Lee, director of student affairs, Prof. Fong Wing-ping, dean of students of Chung Chi College, Mr. Lo Yuen-cheong, director of the Physical Education Unit, and instructors of the unit.
