Congratulations to the girls of Year 9 who beat Emanuel School and Lady Eleanor Holles School convincingly at Hammersmith rowing regatta on Saturday to win Girls Junior Under 14 Octuple Sculls.
Well done too, to the Year 10 quad who beat rivals from the American School.
Somone always has to race the hot favourite in the first round and unfortunately that was Lucy Edwards on Saturday in the single sculls. The same girl beat Jess Foulds in the final by two and a half boat lengths. Commiserations to Lucy and Jess, our two brave single scullers, undoubtedly the most nerve-racking of the rowing boats for crew and coach. Better luck next time!
The Year 11 Four rowed a sparkling first minute against Emanuel and led the race. They were beaten by a stronger crew but held their technique together well.
Well done to all girls in the rowing team!
Please note this is a provisional list which details likely fixtures. Always check the notice board at school for crew lists.
