To say that the Open 1x is a sparsely populated field would be the understatement of the century. Having a grand total of two competitors may seem like a boring prospect, but once you take a glance at the calibre of the two clubs that are competing in this category, you will see just how […]
With the cancellation of Chester LDS due to unsafe conditions, the winding 4250m Wallingford Long Distance Sculls course represents the first challenge of the season for a new group of J16 scullers. For those entered it will be a chance to put summer training into use and lay down a marker for the coming season. […]
Chester Long Distance Sculls is again being held over 5000m on the River Dee, but this year is the first time that Royal Chester have decided to use the new banding system, BROE2. This means that for the fourth head of the season, Chester LDS has banded the junior sculling races, as well as the […]
Many of these athletes raced at EIDs last weekend, some even with GB vests already at hand. There were close margins between some of these rowers last weekend, whoever came out on bottom will be aiming to reverse this result. The top half of the finishing order is likely to be dominated by the […]
Radley College BC Fresh back and ready to race again after their fourth place finish in Youth Coxed Fours at Head of the Charles Regatta, USA, McChesney, Innes-Ker, and Senior will have happy memories of the Henley course, where they were part of the British schoolboy crew that made it the furthest in the Princess […]

As expected in this category, there are several athletes who have acquired their first bit of GB kit which puts them ahead of some of […]
This event was last held in 2015 and is one of the first long distance sculls events held nationally, preceding Wallingford. It is the first in the northern rowing LDS series so is one of our first chances to survey the competitiveness of the J18 scullers in the country. This year we see a reasonably […]
The J17 sculls will see 20 athletes contest the event at Dorney. Â It will be interesting to see which of these scullers will make the step up to Championship Singles at the National Schools’ Regatta in two weeks time, and thus use this event as a springboard to gain useful experience.
