Runcorn Rowing Club hosted the annual North West Junior Time Trial on Sunday 4 March which is organized by the North West Regional Rowing Council.
This Head race of 1500 meters on the River Weaver is open solely to junior crews; the winning crews are subsequently selected to represent the NW region at the Junior Inter Regional Regatta to be held at the National Water Sports centre at Nottingham on 28 April. Needless to say there is strong competition between the clubs to be selected but great camaraderie within the NW Region Squad, building up the the event!
It was a very successful day attracting a large attendance of juniors from clubs all over the region, ranging from 13 to 16 years. Racing took place over four divisions throughout the day with favorable weather conditions.
Northwich RC entered nine crews made up of coxed eights, fours, doubles and singles.
Our stronger crews were the two Eights: Junior 16 boys and Women’s Junior 16 girls who have both been rowing extremely well with wins at various recent events. Both were strong contenders and hoping to impress on the day.
The Women’s Junior 16 Eight did indeed impress the selectors by winning against, a powerful Kings School WJ16 crew, by a very close one and a half seconds.
NRC/Grange Crew Win
