Rowing
Recently our rowers hit the water to participate in the Karapiro Club Regatta. In our first progressive regatta of the season, we had a lot of success making Sunday finals and securing some outstanding results in all age groups. Across the club, it was a clear step up from our last event, and we look forward to continuing that trend as we head into our December training camp.
