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.
