While clubs are tending to wind down as the summer season finishes, schools, such as Headington, St Edward’s and Radley are already getting the action going with thoughts of 2010, writes Mike Rosewell.
Headington girls, appeared at the Evesham Head on Saturday and the Reading Head on Sunday – and won at both.
At Evesham, Headington’s first two junior 13 quads broke the course record, the top crew knocking 29 seconds off the previous best.
At Reading, Headington’s wins came in the women’s J18 quads, the women’s elite double sculls and the J14 quads.
Also at Reading, Radley secured wins in the coxless pairs’ J18 and J17 categories.
Wallingford’s women won the intermediate 3 fours, but the men, in an intermediate coxed four, failed to bring home silverware in spite of being the fastest coxed four of the day.
St Edward’s went to the Bedford Head where their mixed J16 and J18 crew won the intermediate 3 men’s fours, while new girls, Katy Pfeiffer from America, and Siggy Waibel, from South Africa, took the novice doubles.
