“There were also many personal results that were just as impressive,” said Club PRO, Jane Boyle. “We were very proud of how the group supported each other and how they positively represented their club and town.”

“These results are testament to our rowers development and determination and the dedication and effort of our coaches. This event is a daunting arena and each rower who went and performed deserves great credit, our rowers looked out for and supported each other in an outstanding manner.

“All this as we face the continued problem of months ahead with an empty canal and hence the lack of the opportunity to train on water,” added Jane.
