The J14 squad made a fantastic start to the regatta season at the Junior Sculling Regatta on Monday. Both crews delivered outstanding performances in the 1900m time trial, with the A crew securing a commanding six-second victory, while the B crew impressed by knocking out several A crews to earn their place in the A final.
In the final, the girls faced their first formal 2000m side-by-side racing. The B crew delivered a superb performance, setting off with a sharp start, racing fearlessly in a highly competitive field and maintaining strong contact through the first half of the race. The A crew raced with confidence and composure, taking an early lead and responding calmly to pressure from strong opposition. Sticking to their race plan, they extended their lead to claim an impressive six-second win, making clear water in the final 500m.
This marks an exciting start to the season for the J14s and we look forward to seeing the full J14 squad in action at Bedford Amateur Regatta this Saturday.
