Following the cancellation of the Schools’ Head, the finale of junior sculling will be held ad Eton, Dorney. Traditionally, entries aren’t always to the same strength that race the Tideway stretch. That being said, the shorter course provides fierce racing up and down the course and can therefore throw a few surprises into the results. […]
With Schools’ Head just around the corner, Reading Uni head will be an extremely good indicator of everyone’s speed coming into the most important race of the Head season. Whilst the 4.6km course isn’t the same length as the 7km stretch of the Tideway raced on at Schools’ Head, it will give crews an opportunity […]
After Leander’s top performance at Fours Head last weekend, with both their top and second junior quads taking the top two positions in the rankings, the clubs entered in this event will be looking to prove themselves and try and show that they have a chance at contesting with Leander this season. With Leander’s absence […]
On Saturday at 12pm, we will see a field of Junior boys quads racing down the 7km stretch of the Tideway from Chiswick to Putney, battling it out for the title of fastest J18 quad in the country, in the biggest race of the season so far. With the recent Pairs Head having particularly gruelling […]
On Sunday, a mighty 54 junior men’s quads took to racing down the 6.8km stretch of the infamous Tideway. Some crews will have been competing at this race for the experience, to post a respectable time and to set them up for some of the other big races, such as Schools Head and the Scullery, […]

The junior […]
For the 13 crews entered in this category, it will most likely be their first race of the head season. Therefore, the 4250m course will really test all of the crew’s fitness levels and will certainly provide for an exciting race with unpredictable results. As it is so early on in the season, all of […]
Such little can be told about crews when it is the start of a new season. With only three entries in this category, it is going to be great race down the course. The fact that all crews are starting close to one another where they can see each other, the winner may know who […]
With the Henley Royal Regatta draw being announced on Thursday 15th June, all crews will be hoping their year of preparation will culminate in the final opportunity for crews to pre-qualify for the Fawley Challenge Cup at Marlow Regatta this weekend. We now know that Claires Court’s ‘triple’ shall not be replicated by Maidenhead this […]
With seven entries from four clubs, the junior quad event is looking somewhat sparse. That being said this regatta, only in its second year, does present crews with a reliable speed indicator two weeks before National Schools. Given the challenging conditions reducing racing to just a time trial at Wallingford, the Sculling Regatta could prove […]
Racing over two legs of 1800m, 29 crews will contest the J18 4x category. Many crews have opted to go from the Tideway to Dorney, so the Scullng Head will give a good indication as to who has the fitness for two hard days of racing. Lea I must confess that I wrote in […]
