Wightlink-sponsored Ryde Rowing Club hosted the 4th Isle of Wight Rowing Forum Junior Indoor Rowing Competition on Sunday at their Appley Park Clubhouse.
The annual event is open to any Junior/under 18 members of the three Island Rowing Clubs – Ryde, Shanklin and Newport – with all three represented and total of 27 junior oarsman and woman taking part.
There were two stages to the event in line with British Rowing’s guidelines and as used at the National Junior Indoor Rowing competition, which it is hoped many of the Island athletes will compete in early next year.
All the Juniors were divided into boys and girls and age groups and competed as individuals over two events – distance rowed in a fixed time and a 250m sprint. Medals were awarded for first, second and third places.
After completion of the individual competitions a relay was held over 3000m in teams of five, drawn from the hat from all three Clubs.
