ERBC’s 2 First Eight crews are in Henley this week competing in Henley Royal Regatta, the most prestigious regatta in the world attracting crews from as far away as USA and Australia.
Both crews prequalified for the event on the back of their great results at London Schools Head and National Schools Regatta earlier this year.
The Boys’ Eight – Tom Blake, Marcus Davis Kunze, Oran Harty, Tim Murphy, Lewis Nixon, Charlie Smith, Nathan Kelly, Luke Paton and cox Frankie Rehill will race in the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup at 2.05pm tomorrow (Tuesday 28th) against the eight from The 1863 Club.
The Girls’ Eight – Niamh Campbell, Laura Turner, Acorn Cassidy, Katie Donnelly, Aine McCaffrey, Chloe Thompson, Martha McBrien, Rachel Cullinan and cox Grace Ralph will race last year’s winners, Headington School in the heats on Wednesday. The time for the race will be confirmed after racing conclude tomorrow.
We wish both of the crews and Mr Holland, our Head of Rowing all the best of luck this week.
