A hugely oversubscribed entry, as ever with the Fawley, and the standard is higher than the previous two years. All of the big players are involved along with some strong foreign opposition from Germany, Canada, South Africa and the USA. I’ve already briefly taken a look at Rondebosch and individual previews will be released on the foreign entrants over the next week or so.
With the pre-qualifiers released on Sunday after Marlow Regatta, it’ll be interesting to see how many crews the Stewards pre-qualify and which ones are given the lucky bypass ticket.
This looks set to be an absolutely cracking event and I personally can’t wait for it to get started.
My bets for the 8 ‘seeded’ crews are as follows:
Sir William Borlase School
Westminster School
Northwich
Grange School
Leander Club
Ridley College, Canada
Malvern Preparatory School ‘A’, USA
Rondebosch Rowing Club, South Africa
