This Regatta is held at Eton Dorney Rowing Centre on Dorney lake. It is a relatively new Regatta, being in its 8th year. It involves a time trial then followed by a 2km side by side race. With it being 2 weeks before National Schools, it gives the crews a good indication of their competition.
Trentham had 7 crews entered. Our Opj14 double put in an outstanding performance, taking 1st place and winning a gold medal. The W Sch/Jun single also had a very strong performance coming 3rd and winning and Bronze medal.
Our Wj16 double made it into the A final, and the Op Sch/Jun quad, Op Sch/Jun double and the W j15 double progressing to the B final. Our Opj16 quad just missed out on the B final by the smallest of margins.
Congratulations to all the crews that competed.
