Head of the River, Avon River – Sun 14th of Feb

Last weekend we entered our two crews of eight in The Head of the River competition. This comprised our Novice Eight, those new to rowing this season, and our U16 Eight.

As the width of the Avon restricts all crews from racing at the same time, this event is time based with two crews competing simultaneously. This can be a challenge in itself as whilst our rowers can see where they are in proximity to their opposition they need to push themselves for the best time possible as pacing themselves against a slower crew could lead to missing out on a podium finish.

Both of the St Bede’s Crews placed 1st in their respective races.

This weekend the Novice Eight will head to Lake Ruataniwha. Twizel to compete in the NZ Club Championships. We wish the lads well and look forward to seeing how they go.
