We had 16 of our U14's (inc. Eilis from Allan's group !) & 2 C1 paddlers all attend the Elmbridge Sprints !
It was a very hectic start loading all the boats - but all arrived in tact at Elmbridge thanks to Mike C !
The guys did time trials for 500m & 200m which enabled them to be seeded into races. All did incredibly well-with special mentions to Jack Oliver who came 1st in both his races along with Alex Bicknell & Eilis Byrne doing the same !
We also managed to christen both our brand new Rocket K4's by racing the 3000m with a girls crew of Alice Fellows, Holly Hellyer, Lucy Tozer & Ella Jamieson AND a boys crew of Oliver Banks, Alex Bicknell, Adam Raven & Jack Oliver. All paddled incredibly well & were exhausted at the end BUT not as exhausted as Pam who (tried) to follow them all the way round & failed miserably only just managing to keep them in sight- next purchase should be an outboard motor for the coaches !!
Also very special mention to Jack Warner for competing so well especially as he has only been paddling with the group for a few weeks !
WELL DONE TO YOU ALL
