Last Saturday, in challenging rainy conditions, over 100 Surbiton rowers took on the 5.2km course at the Teddington Head. The squad delivered an outstanding performance, securing 5 Gold, 4 Silver, and 4 Bronze medals across a range of age groups and boat classes.
The highlight of the day was the resilience and spirit shown by the J14 squad, many of whom were racing their very first head race. Their determination set the tone for a memorable outing for the entire club.
