Monday saw 6 Junior Crews from ERBC compete at Oarsport Junior Sculling Head at Eton Dorney lake, the location for the London 2012 Olympics’ rowing events. The WJ14 8X+ came away with a fantastic 3rd place out of 35 crews beating crews from Henley Rowing Club and Lady Eleanor Holles Boat Club among many others. The crew of Laura Turner, Chloe Thompson, Clodagh O’Donnell, Cristiona McCaffrey, Scarlett Keys, Zoe Elliott, Rachel Cullinan, Keeva Corry and cox Georgia Maxwell were delighted with their performance.
Another notable performance came from boys J15 4X+ of Tim Murphy, Lewis Nixon, Charlie Smith, Luke Paton and cox Georgia Maxwell who came 9th out of 73 crews
Racing at Eton Dorney was a fantastic experience for these young crews and they all performed extremely well and should be very proud of themselves. The J14 boys Octo finished 20th out of 43 crews which was a great achievement. The crews will return to Eton Dorney at the end of May for National Schools Regatta where they hope to repeat the success of 2018.
That is the Head season finished for the year with Regatta Season just around the corner. The Club will travel to Neptune Regatta on Saturday 6th April.
Many thanks to the coaching staff and the parents who travelled with the rowers to London at the weekend.
