Rowing Success
The rowing team having been celebrating a successful season so far with wins in both the Merseyside and Shrewsbury Regattas.
There were five wins overall at the Merseyside Regatta, with Sam Roughly and William Tait winning the under thirteen double sculls and Sophie Gillbanks and Georgia Shirley (St Mary’s School/Trafford RC) winning the under fifteen double sculls. Sophie went on to win the under sixteen double sculls with Ellen Murgatroyd. Sarah Dryden and Maddie O’Connor Manson secured first place in the under fifteen second double scull event. Ellen, Sarah, Maddie and Sophie also went on to win the under sixteen quadruple sculls.
The Merseyside Regatta finished on a nail-bitingly close race, with Robert Thorpe, Owen Harrison, Ryan Carney and Harry Scott missing out on first place, in the under seventeen quadruple sculls, by a distance of three inches!
The Shrewsbury Regatta saw a similar score sheet, with four wins overall for the team. Ross Almond won the under fourteen single sculls with a dominating performance. Sophie Gillbanks and Georgia Shirley (St Mary’s School/Trafford RC) again won the under fifteen double sculls and Sophie and Ellen put on a great performance in winning the under sixteen double sculls. Ellen put on a defiant performance in the under sixteen single sculls race, fighting off some tough opposition to win.
Similar to Merseyside Regatta there were some close races against some very skilled opponents; Robert Thorpe and Owen Harrison were narrowly beaten by a top class Shrewsbury School double. Ryan Carney raced extremely well in his single scull and Harry Scott raced into the semi-finals but was beaten due to an unfortunate equipment failure!
