This was the 2nd race of the day and with the conditions they did brilliantly.

We had 2nd & 3rd places from our Senior Men in 4s and 2-.

Our Star of the day was definitely our young
J/14 sculler Harry Guy. His race was one of the last events and he was determined to row it despite the conditions. He capsized at the start but got back in, he capsized again during the race. Most scullers would have come back in but not Harry, he carried on and finished the race and received a huge cheer from Senior rowers from other Clubs.
