This month, the Club made the trip south for Henley Women’s Regatta and Marlow Regatta.
At Marlow, our Juniors J18 Boys won silver – a truly outstanding result in a highly competitive field, and one that saw them prequalify for Henley Royal.
Our Men’s VII also prequalified for HRR – making the the first Scottish Club 8 to contest the Thames Challenge Cup in over two decades.
While the men and Junior Boys were competing at Marlow, our Junior Girls Darcy and Phoebe were out in force at Henley Women’s Regatta, in Scottish composite boats.
Both raced very well, with Phoebe’s boat making the final.
In glorious sunshine, but with a healthy crosswind to challenge the most intrepid, our juniors in particular had a successful Scottish Championships weekend, with a number of gold and silver medals:
Ben, Hector: OJ18 pairs and silver in Open pairs
Freddy, Andrew: silver in OJ18 pairs
Alexander, Alex, Ewan, Freddy: Gold in OJ18 4x
Alexander, Hector, Andrew, Freddy and Alex (cox): Gold OJ18 4+
Dominic, Andrew, Hector, Ben: Gold in OJ18 4-
Alexander, Freddy: Gold in OJ18 2x
Alexander: Silver in OJ18 1x
Hector: Bronze in OJ18 1x
From our senior squad, a further two gold medals added to the bundle of bling:
Andrew Main: Gold in Intermediate 1x
Martha, Julia: Gold in WMas A-B 2x
