Additional Information
Having snapped a blade in their race against Reading Rowing Club at Henley Women’s Regatta, these girls will be out for vengeance. I felt cheated of the prospect of a cracking final between Marlow and Gloucester Hartpury and I’m sure Marlow will have felt the same; they face the Canadian National silver medallists on the Friday of HRR and that race will give us a good indication of the speed of the foreign entries as well as Marlow’s speed. All the girls have received invites to GB Final Trials and I think they are one of the favourites for this event but the quality of the field is exceptional- any one of around 5 crews could take this prize in my eyes. I think they can beat Ridley but the Saturday just gets harder; they will face either Headington School, winners of J8+ at HWR and silver medallists at National Schools Regatta in CHG4x, or Shawnigan Lake School, Canadian National champions in Senior Women’s Quads.
My Prediction
I think these girls can make the Sunday but it won’t be easy. They’ve got some exceptional crews to beat before that and their Saturday race will be a fascinating one!
