Stratford upon Avon Boat Club’s under 16 squad travelled to the Olympic Course at Eton Dorney last Bank Holiday Monday to take part in the “Scullery” Regatta. The event run over 2000m attracts the finest scullers from across the country and visitors from as far afield as South Africa and Ireland.
Stratford women’s coxless quadruple scull of Isla Dunn, Maeve Dunn, Tessa Parkin and 
Martha Cooke took the water first in the time trial with a solid thirteenth place ahead of the South African Rowing Schools Union and once again closing the gap to regional rivals Hereford Cathedral School.
Next up was the women’s double scull of Martha Baines and Sophie Franklin. The pair motored through the time trial stage in seventh place thus securing a place in the B Final. Gusty conditions made the final quite an event with Sophie and Martha engaging in battle with Great Marlow School to finish third.
