Racing post:
Nick Rae competed at Henley Long Distance Sculls on Saturday. Coming in in a time of 14:22, 5th/6 in Tier 3 1x and beating a couple of scullers from Tier 2 as well, a creditable debut performance. Onwards and upwards to Scullers Head!
This Saturday, we have 2 crews entered in Vets Fours Head, race starts at 10:00 and the B.4x of Cris, Bjarne, Niall and Vasil is going off 5th. The Chairman's invitational F.4x is going off 94th. (Golder, Rhodri, Rawkins, Wylie)
