Shanklin Sandown Rowing Club secured 5 wins when they travelled to Southampton for BTC’s regatta on Weston shore, the penultimate event of the Hants and Dorset season.
Daisy Faithfull secured the victory she needed to take the club’s 2nd Hants and Dorset Championship of the season, with another impressive row in typically coastal conditions.
The Ladies Senior Pairs Championship, and the club’s 3rd for the season, was also put beyond doubt with a comfortable win for Daisy & Emily Faithfull, with clubmates, Kayleigh Batchelor and Yas Wright maintaining their 100% record for the season, with another comfortable win in the Ladies Junior pair, this after securing their championship last week.
Emily Faithfull also took the club’s 4th win of the regatta in the Ladies Junior sculls, ensuring the championship goes down to the last regatta of the season next week on the river Itchen
The boys J16 quad of Arlo Adds, Ben Smith, Fred Giemza-Pipe, Ollie Hatch & Jane Denby-Roach continued their impressive season with the club’s 5th win of the day, finishing 3 lengths ahead of the home club, with the crew also taking 4th spot in the men’s junior fours.
The Junior Ladies four of Alannah Denness, Abi Swinscoe, Beth Katirewa, Esme Walters and Yas Wright (cox) coped well in the worsening conditions to finish in 5th spot in their 1st race at this status after promotion at Poole last week.
