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.

Heike says 'Go GRC!'

Shame, that.

Winners of Elite 2- at Met

'Snapper Ron' was at Met and took this lovely picture of GRC's most successful participant (sorry, boys).

More from the Snapper.

Met Update - there, there, boys

The pain has been great, but perhaps we can kiss it better by mentioning that Alan and Matt also won their event at Met last Saturday. At least they got their round of applause from the women last night (though... it wasn't as spontaneous as the one for Willie and Dreggy). Noticed that the SR website ignored them, too.

Better point out that Polly won two events... which means she's as good as four men.

Post-TT

Some pictures, from a dark and blustery Nottingham, of Olivia and Kate competing in Ju16 doubles and singles. Photos by dad Peter, who also took the farewell picture of the family car...

Last week, this week, next week....

At Nat. Schools, Kate and Olivia qualified for the semi-final of their doubles event - but that was it for Saturday. Conditions were dull and wet.
Sunday was bright - and breezy! The Ju16 singles event was a little too hot to handle for our girls (who haven't been single sculling so much) and neither got past the first round. It was a good experience of top competition and we're stronger for it.

Turn the boats around and head back south - this time to Dorney for Metropolitan Regatta, which is on Saturday and Sunday, with several GRC crews and friends competing (see below). Look out for Polly and Sam in their squad composite crews.

The Scottish Championships are less than 2 weeks away - the folowing Saturday and Sunday. How time flies!

What's happening?

Two huge events this weekend, one directly involving GRC, the other less directly connected.

  1. Nottingham - National Schools Regatta.
    Kate and Olivia will have their first taste of top-level competition, racing in JG U16 2x and JG U16 1x. Wish them luck. Twitter updates will be on this page as usual.
  2. Bled (Slovenia) - 1st 2010 World Cup Regatta.
    No GRC competitors at this one, but a GRC competitor got a standing ovation from the grandstand at this course in 1995....
    TV:
    • Sunday 30 May - 9:00am - 1:00pm - BBC Sport Interactive (red button)
    • Monday 31 May - 12:55pm - 2:00pm - BBC2 Scotland (Digital)

What happened?

Last weekend's Semple regatta was a long sunny day of racing - results were mixed - we'll call it a 'development regatta' (!).

The Res2/Res1 women had a win in WR2 quads (Jane, Jo, Katharina and Mo) and also boated 2 eights, in composites with SUBC and Semple, both of which looked very competitive in their first outngs (first race for Semple's Emma in the eight).

Kate and Olivia had a share of the Inter-regional victory in the mixed 8.

Other than that, pickings were a little slim, but good performances were produced - in particular by Helena, Fergus and Jules (in composite and GRC boats).

BBC Radio Scotland has entered into the spirit of 'Pravda' - they've airbrushed us out of their 'Sport Weekly' challenge race which is to be contested tomorrow between two of Scotlands 'wee teams'.

1/5/10

SPL or SFL?

There was some promotion for the sport on the Radio Scotland 'Sports Weekly' programme today*.

Clydesdale were advertising next week's regatta and issued on on-air challenge to St Andrew to a race in eights over 500m.

You might wonder, "Why didn't they ask us?" - after all, we share the same river - but the answer is probably contained elsewhere on this page, under 'results'.

A source remarked "Think of it as the rowing equivalent of the Alba Challenge Cup".

* Listen again, for 7 days from 1/5/10. Rowing item starts at about 44 mins.

"To the Bat-boat, Robins!"

More river-related 'news' on the radio, on Shereen Nanjiani's programme on Sunday.

[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.

Davison double

A small but dedicated group of GRC rowers made the journey to Edinburgh to compete at the Scottish Indoor Rowing Championships. Powerful performances were produced by Fergus, Jules, Kate, Don and Uncle (loved the handshake!), but the stars in our firmament were Olivia who won Bronze in the girls' under-16 category and sister Helena who was the convincing winner of the girls' under-14 race.

Results.

Proud dad Peter (a.k.a. CaptionManUK) has posted video of the girls' performance, and yesterday's winning GRC crews at the Western, on YouTube:

The 'Western' Head poster promised a showdown for "...the biggest guns in the West". Don't know about that, but although we're still waiting for the smoke to clear (no published results yet) news is that all four GRC crews were left standing tall at the end - played 4, won 4.
