National Schools Regatta - At Nottingham Watersports Centre 24/25/26th May



NORTHWICH CREW RETURN HOME AS CHAMPIONS!

Greg Murphy and Lawrence Williams - the J14. 2x  became the National School Champions on a very wet and windy day at NWSC.

They beat Trentham by 3 secs and Peterborough by 6 sec to claim the gold medal and the Sommerville Cup.

Due to the difficult weather conditions racing was cancelled at midday and so the 1st,2nd and 3rd places were awarded to the fastest 3 times in the processional races.

                                                 


On Saturday and Sunday the weather was bright and sunny with only a light wind.
 
The J15.4+( Alex Hine, Mike Lundy, George Lawton, Chris Malley) raced their way through to the semi-finals and Finn Lawton made it through to the J17A.1x final coming in 4th place.

The elite quad ( Harry Blake,Tom Asteriades, Zac Trig, Finn Lawton) entered the Championship Quad sculls  and got through to the semi-final and just missed out on a place in the final.
