The large SRC squad set off for Taree determined to perform well in all age and grade divisions. The results for the club were outstanding: SRC rowers crossed the line in 1st place 42 times and placed 2nd on 32 occasions and claimed points for 3rd 15 times. In several races the light blue zooties filled the first three places. A great result for all crews and coaches. It was also pleasing to see so many SRC supporters on the banks of the Manning River. One week after Taree the SRC squad was back on the water this time at SIRC contesting the Small Boat Regatta. The results were again outstanding: on twelve occasions SRC individuals or crews picked up gold and a further eight silver medals were collected followed by three bronze. Another great result, SRC now top the NSW Premiership point score. Report by Charles Lloyd Jones |
