Oxford City Royal
Regatta - Saturday 18th August 2001
1000m downstream on the Isis, from Folly Bridge, Oxford.
City of Oxford Rowing Club and Reading Rowing Club tied for
the title of Victor Ludorum at the Oxford City Royal Regatta on
Saturday, with 7 wins apiece, ousting Marlow Rowing Club who have
held the title for the past 3 years. In third place was Tideway
Scullers’ School with 6 wins. The Tideway club rarely ventures
this far up the Thames, but was attracted this year by the range of
events for Juniors included in the Regatta programme in response to
the increasing popularity of junior rowing.
The
City’s Junior squad beat Maidenhead to take the Junior 12 coxed
quadruple sculls, and Harry Strong and Anna Smith won the men’s
Junior 9 and women’s Junior 11 single sculls respectively. There
were also wins for City of Oxford in the men’s novice fours, the
veteran coxless fours, the women’s senior 2 coxless pairs, and
veteran F sculls (Ernie Canning), and wins for Falcon Rowing Club in
the senior 2 coxed fours and the women’s novice fours.
In
the Invitation events, R.T. Harris & Son ‘A’ beat W.S.
Atkins in the final of the Corporate Eights Challenge, Ben Herbert
and Kurt Woodward won their categories of the Oxford Adaptive Rowing
Single Sculls, and Kathryn Stewart, who learned to row as a junior
at City of Oxford Rowing club and has just returned from taking part
in the U23 World Junior Championships, was the overall winner of the
women’s Indoor Rowing competition.
Overall
some 250 crews took part in 58 events at the Regatta, which was
organized by the City of Oxford Rowing Club and sponsored jointly by
Tessella and Courier Newspaper Group. Prizes were awarded by the
Lord Mayor of Oxford, Cllr Peter Moss.
Hundreds
of people turned out to watch the races, which took place every
three minutes between 9.00 am and 6.40 pm, and to take part in an
indoor rowing competition open to all comers including non rowers.
