More Rowing Success
In addition to the Henley win, our J15 squad enjoyed a weekend of impressive results. On Saturday, they won the WJ15 Eights at Marlow Regatta. On Sunday, at Thames Valley Park Regatta, they took home wins in both the WJ15 Eights and the WJ15 Octuple; an achievement made even more remarkable as four J14 rowers made up half of the octuple crew.
Congratulations to all our rowers on a phenomenal weekend of success.
