Sadly no pots but some really good performances across the board and a particular mention for Theo Mordaunt & Sofia Ward in a great final race against City of Oxford.

Sunday 12th April – Abingdon Head
Conditions were very challenging with gusting wind and a strong field including several clubs from the Upper Thames region and the likes of City of Oxford and RGS High Wycombe. Some of our juniors were rowing up and some competing for the first time against senior crews and with three wins and valuable experience gained, with this being the final Head, we are now eagerly looking forward to Regatta season.

Sat 29 Nov – Hampton Small Boats Head
Sat 18 Oct – Evesham Head
Well done to everyone who competed at Evesham. There were only a small number of clubs taking part but it was a case of quality over quantity. There were, frustratingly for the crews, 3 second placings but Isaac Herring of our J15 squad won his single and won the double with Conrad Bird, so well done to both of them. There was also a win for the J18 crew from KES.
