Rowing Joeys Regatta Report
Last weekend the Shore rowing team travelled to the Sydney International Regatta Centre for the second week in a row, to compete in the annual St Joseph’s College regatta. Thankfully, the weather conditions were a lot better than the previous week, where wind had played a major factor, affecting the crews and their preparations through the week
Our Year 10 Fleet raced first, commencing with a very impressive debut coming from our Year 10 4th VIII – many of whom were racing for the first time in their young rowing careers. Our 3rd and 2nd Year 10 crews raced next, piecing together two very fine performances, with both leading from start to finish in their respective categories.
Next up were our our GPS IV’s squad, who were involved in some very tight racing across all four categories and in both rounds of racing. It was very pleasing to see substantive improvement with our 2nd IV. Despite them not being able to train properly all week, they finished in second place behind the crew from Canberra Grammar school.
Our 1st VIII was the only crew left to compete with some illness again forcing a late reshuffle of our combinations. The crew showed great tenacity over the competition distance to sit in 2nd place, overlapping the crew from St Ignatius who were the eventual winners.
