BEAUTIFUL weather and a slight tail wind to speed up the times saw the Isis
Sculls produce a wonderful day for the locals involved last Saturday, writes Mike Rosewell.
Seven Oxfordshire clubs shared 26 wins between
them - the lion's share going to the host club City of Oxford.
City Bagged 15 division wins across the quad,
double and scull classes, while their women's senior 3 quad of Amy Jackson,
Christine Aherne, Claire Sherman and Ailsa Thom were the fastest boat over the
course.
Dragon School mopped up 5 wins in the junior 13
classes and younger, while St Edward's School won the men's and women's junior
18 single divisions.
A double on the day was achieved by University
College, while Falcon, Brasenose and Magdalen College School also had a win
apiece.
Meanwhile, the likes of Radley, St Edward's,
Abingdon and Headington received some good news last weekend when it was
announced that junior 14 events will be reintroduced to the National Schools
Regatta next May.
The competition is being stretched from two to
three days, meaning that junior 14 racing - scratched some five years ago
because of a surge in overall entries - is back.
