New Hall's early progress was good, taking the headship of the Lent Bumps in 1976, 1978 and 1980.

Since then, the club has made a strong come-back, regaining a first division position in Lent Bumps in 2013.

The New Hall 1st VIII won the Novice pennant at the Women’s Head of the River Race in 1989.

Better recruitment,[2][3][4][5] coaching and continuing financial support from the College and alumnae community[6][7] enabled the Club to build depth and breadth in its crews once more.

Murray Edwards won the Pegasus Cup in 2011 after a solid performance in May Bumps, which secured blades for both its crews.
