A team of girls from the Bideford Amateur Athletic Club travelled to Worcester this weekend for the Worcester University Head of the Severn.
It was the first time in an eights boat as a crew and the girls certainly did themselves and the club proud. Despite the strong wind, cold temperature and very fast flowing river the girls completed the 4.5km race.
The crew of Keely Mills, Shannon Monaghan, Kat Keenan, Charlotte Berry, Jo Moulder, Jess Middleton, Kirsty Snow, Shelby May and Tina Robertson (cox) competed in the novice race and finished a very respectable 2nd place. A very successful start for 2015.
