Last Saturday, our squad competed at Chiswick Regatta on the river Thames, represented by a strong line-up of crews: two quads (J16 and J18 boys), two doubles (J15 boys and J16 girls), and four singles (J15, J16 boys and J18 girls).
Throughout the day, our rowers demonstrated resilience, determination and a high level of commitment. The racing was close and competitive across all events, showcasing the hard work put in during training.
We are proud to celebrate two outstanding victories:
• Ben R (U5) claimed 1st place in the J16 boys single, battling through tough, windy conditions with great composure.
• Angelika K (U6) took 1st place in the J18 girls single—an especially impressive achievement as it was her first race in a single.
Both Ben and Angelika delivered exceptional performances and we congratulate them on their well-earned wins.
A huge well done to all rowers who competed. Your efforts and team spirit were evident throughout the day. We look forward to building on this momentum and seeing more strong performances in future races.
