Sam has joined Lindsay on
the World podium, winning his Bronze in the GB U23 lightweight quad
scull (the similarities continue).
The regatta took place last week in Brest, Belarus. As well as Sam's success,
Polly was also representing GB and raced in the
final of womens fours, finishing 4th. Also amongst the medals was Andy
Holmes - cousin of Cousin
Willie, Cousin Shona and nephew of "Who's-the-daddy-and-don't-forget-Cousin-Kate".

Latest
At Nithsdale, Olivia won Ju18 doubles, along with Emma from Semple.
At Henley this week, in addition to the 2 crews mentioned below, GRC will also be supporting Sam who is racing in the Prince of Wales in the Agecroft Rowing Club and Durham University boat - GB U23 squad.
And finally...
Katharina's cousin Heike would love to wave her flag in support of Jonny, Chris, Jen and Sam this week, but has had to stay a bit longer in South Africa.
Shame, that.

Henley and Nithsdale
More top-class racing!
- The Henley
qualifying races are on tomorrow (Friday). GRC
involvement is in two events - Jonny and Chris are
mixing it with the big boys in the Goblets,
for which qualification alone is looking pretty hard, while Jen
Reid has
a berth in the Tideway Scullers/Sport Imperial boat that is contesting
the Remenham.
The GRC one-piece could just about do for the Scullers colours. Good
luck to both crews.
UPDATE - Both crews have qualified (pdf file).
- On Saturday, the TV cameras* move location to Dumfries for Nithsdale
Regatta (draw) .
Our only competitor will be Olivia who
is racing with Emma in a Castle Semple/GRC composite Ju18 2x.

There are a number of ways to keep up-to-date with Henley results. Details

Top class racing
GRC crews were racing last weekend at two of the UK's top regattas-
- at Henley Women's Regatta Polly was
the only Scottish-based success, winning Elite 4- in her squad composite
crew, while her erstwhile crewmates Lorna, Jen, Steph
and Amanda, coxed by Marianne, were
competitive in their semi-final of Elite 4+ but lost to the event winners. Jen
Alex lost out on Friday in Senior 1x.
HWR results .
- Meanwhile, at Marlow Regatta, the Logans were involved in some top-class pairs races where they clocked under 7 minutes and still only got a 5th place. Next stop Henley qualifying this Friday.
