SUABC at Henley Royal Regatta: LIVE at 10:45am today (Weds)

Posted on by
Today the SUABC will be back at Henley Royal Regatta for the fourth year in a row!
The senior men’s coxless four (Mike Hourigan (str), Pat Hourigan, Alastair Collier and Ed Press(bow, steers)) coached by Bill Sullivan and Colin Bell, are racing at the premiere summer regatta today. Good luck to them from the whole Club!
 
Their race is a heat of the Wyfold Challenge for club coxless fours and they face stiff competition going against Swan River from Australia.
The race starts at 10:45 and will be shown live on the HRR YouTube channel and will be viewable again shortly afterwards.
Unfortunately, after three years of being quarter finalists in the Britannia Challenge, the men’s club coxed four just missed out on qualifying this year, despite all improving on and off the water.

Saturday 21st March – Kingston Head of the River

Posted on by
Congratulations to our Masters E4+ crew of Stephen Haighton, Glyn Hawkins, Tim Hayter, Simon Beard and Jen Clements for winning their class and also being the second fastest Coxed Four of the day! The strong northerly head wind created very choppy conditions and made the 5,200m course a real challenge, especially for those more used to the Avon,  but our crew showed the locals a thing or two beating the Kingston RC MasE 4+ by 35 secs on their own water. The crew also beat all the other Masters crews, all the senior 4+ crews with the exception of Worcester Uni IM2 4+ (although the second placed IM2 4+ were beaten by 1min 17 secs) and many IM3 8+s. The event saw Leander score a 1, 2, 3 with the first boat crewed by many internationals including Matt Gotterall, who learned to row at Stratford.

Saturday 21st March – Runcorn Head of the River

In a composite MasD 8+ crew with Bridgnorth, Tom Doherty and Richard Nelson won their class at Runcorn by a large margin. In fact they beat all bar 7 crews in the event including 2 IM1 ,2 IM2, 6 IM3, and all 6 other MAS A,B,C,crews.

This composite crew is in training for the Vets Head of The River and will be coxed by our own Jen Clements, so this was a very promising performance for the Tideway next week.
