On Saturday, in difficult, windy conditions, Chris Mollison and Matt Nicholls continued their excellent Henley campaign with a win in the Senior 2-
Our other 2 Henley hopeful crews had a little less luck. The 4- with Morgan Hellen, Tim Grant, David Porter and Ryan Mitchell had equipment failure and did not race.
The J16 4x having an early challenge for Henley came in 4th in their heat of 5 in the J18 4x competition with a strong time of 7.16. Good prospects for the future.
On Sunday, two Masters crews played. Ray Philips dipped his toe in a very strong Masters E1x field and came last.
The Masters D8+ (ably coxed by Sue Hamilton on loan from Minerva Bath) had a strong row (according to the bow four) and a rushed rating of 36 (according to the stern four). Their new improved start paid dividends and they kept with the leaders: Bewdley and Marlow, all the way to the finish. A positive sign was that our traditional MIRC Masters fade seems to have been eliminated - and they had the fastest second half than the other crews. These 3 crews finished within 2 seconds of each other. Unfinished business for Henley Masters perhaps?
