Stratford Upon Avon Regarra - Saturday 15.6.13

The Junior crews travelled down to Stratford to race in  testing conditions. The day was sunny but very windy and with a couple of big bends on the 750m course the coxless boats had to steer very carefully otherwise they could be blown off course coming around the final bend!

Northwich secured 2 wins on the day but the other crews all raced through their heats to reach their semi final or final.

The winners were:

J14A.2x - Greg Murphy and Lawrence Williams

The J15A.2x  Jack Koch and Matt Roberts had 3 excellent races to reach the final just losing by a length.
