Nice to see SUBC win WRes2 4+, with a crew including Shona and Jenni, both rowing in next week's Women's Tideway composite crew.

Happy anniversary

This event is one year on from the first-ever race for 3 of the WRes2 winners - Kate, Olivia and Joanna all took part in this as their first competitive outing, last year.

More 'rowing'...

NB - there's a list of 'rowing' news items to be found every day under the appropriate link in the left-hand column.

26/2/10

It never rains, but.

Following this week's snow-and-rain fall, the river level has leapt up. It's just at the 'no-rowing' point today. High tide is at mid-day on Saturday, which should make outings in the morning easier than those after, but it might be a 'musical ergos' weekend!

24/2/10

Women's Tideway

The draw for the 2010 race has been published. Lots of Scottish crews including 2 GRC composite crews, starting 4th and 280th (you have to earn that position!).

GB trials - good news
[16/2/10 - Results now posted]

At Dorney today, on the first day of the 2-day trials format, Sam demonstrated quality and consistency in finishing 10th in the first, time-trial stage of Lightweight 1x. He then matched that performance, finishing 5th in the semi-final race. The top 3 from each semi will be racing in tomorrow's final.

Day 2 Update: Sam remained rock-solid, finishing 4th in the 'B' final, i.e 10th overall. Iain was 18th overall, Polly was 4th in the 'G' final. Just to clarify, these are the positions within the Elite category, i.e. all 3 finished significantly higher in their U-23 rankings.

Update - Results:

The Twit likes to travel with GRC people to foreign places and always has "important" things to pass on.

Another excellent day's racing from GRC. Malcolm has recorded some of them in his equally excellent photographs - in his Picasa album.

Unfortunately, there are no photos of our winning crews (unless YOU have some?) but still plenty of meat for the armchair coaches to get their teeth into.
