Crews join 5,000 rowers at National Schools' Regatta

The National Schools' Regatta took place over the first weekend of the half term and saw ten Shrewsbury crews taking to the water at Dorney Lake.

The highly competitive event saw close on five thousand rowers taking part from 150 different schools and clubs.

The racing format saw crews competing in a time trial with the top twelve crews making it through to the semi-finals and A & B finals.

The Club produced some strong results but sadly missed out on medal places. Six of the crews finished inside the top eight in the country.

• WJ15 VIII: 6th in the B Final
• J15 A VIII: 17th of 24
• J15 B VIII: 16th of 21
• WJ16 A VIII: 1st in the B Final
• J16A VIII: 6th in the A Final
• J16B VIII: 5th in the A Final
• WCH 4X: 1st in the B Final
• 1st VIII: 8th in the A Final
• 2nd VIII: 1st in the B Final
• WCH 2-: 1st in the B Final

Thank you to all the supporters that made it such a fantastic atmosphere at the Shrewsbury marquee and to the team from Holroyd Howe for spoiling the athletes, parents and coaches alike with a wonderful spread.
