Northwich Autumn Head 2013 - Results

On the road again. The first Autumn Head of the season for LRGSBC and for some their first race. There was a 5am start for the single scullers in order to make the first Division start time. The remainder of the 20 boys, who were racing later on in the day, followed on later with parents. We were one of the first club minibus and trailers to arrive through the gates of St.John Deane's College at 07:20 and picked our prime parking location to rig boats. There were over 300 entries across three divisions, made the landing stages, car park and towpath very busy.

LRGSBC sculling results were: J.Mapp (7th), D.Hammond(9th), J.Unwin (10th), D.Kingcox (11th) out of 13 J16 scullers. Commiserations go to A.Fyfe went for a swim, again, near the finish line.
