CITY of Oxford's Paul Azzopardi is something of a glutton for punishment, writes Mike Rosewell.
Having barely recovered from organizing the
two-day Oxford City Royal Regatta, he is at it again tomorrow with the Isis
Sculls, raced upstream over the Isis stretch of the River Thames.
The event was started last year, when 80 entries
were received, but the number has risen this year to 118.
The event will be run in six divisions racing at
hourly intervals between 11am and 4pm on the same course as used for the Oxford
Bumps Races..
City of Oxford members make up the bulk of the
entry, with 40 boats in a flotilla that includes single sculls, double sculls
and quads.
Other good local entries have been received from
St Edward's School and The Dragon, with 15 and 12 boats respectively.
Falcon have four entries and there is a
smattering from Oxford Colleges.
