Stratford’s Participation Squad Crowned at King’s Worcester

Stratford upon Avon Boat Club sent a small team of rowers from the Club’s Participation Squad, the majority of whom have only been rowing for three months, to the annual Kings School Indoor Rowing Competition in Worcester on Saturday. Stratford took on more experienced rowers from seven other clubs and schools with over three hundred competitors using twenty indoor rowing machines

Stratford’s squad produced five personal bests and came close in two individual races with fourth places before finally getting a bronze medal in the Girls’ Year Nine Mixed Relay when teamwork came through to almost get silver.

Commenting, Ralph Johnson, Stratford’s Participation Squad Coach said, “The squad were understandably very pleased with their day’s work and look forward to more events.”
