Additional Information

Since the Oarsport Junior Sculling Head, where this crew finished tenth, Grange have shown a marked improvement to push themselves into the upper echelons of junior quads. They have the two Ozsanlav Harris brothers onboard along with two talented guys in the middle of the boat and the crew rows very well together. They recently borrowed/purchased a reverse wing riggered Hudson for National Schools, before racing in a conventionally rigged Empacher at Marlow. I’m not sure which boat they’ll use at Henley but they looked sharper in the Hudson. Nonetheless, it is good to see Grange put together a strong junior quad; the potential has been there for years and Matt Jump has finally unlocked it by integrating two very good athletes, in the form of Conor Gay and Benjamin Holt, to complement the strength and tenacity of Scott and Luke.

My Prediction

I think these boys will be seeded and I then expect to see them progress to the Friday. The strength of the Fawley cup this year makes progress past this point difficult so it’ll be interesting to see what they can do. I think they’ll make the Friday.
