Women’s Head of the River – 2009 results

On Saturday, 7th March, supporters of local and international crews lined Hammersmith Bridge, Putney Embankment and other vantage points along the Thames to watch the Women’s Head of the River Race.   

GB rowers featured in the top three boats home with the composite crew of internationals from Holland and Thames clubs taking the overall win.  Leander Club took second place and the composite from Marlow/Minerva Bath/Reading University/Thames, coxed by Caroline O’Connor, came in a close third. Nottingham RC put in a really strong performance to secure the fourth position and the Senior 2 pennant.

Liv Whitlam, also an Olympic finalist was rowing for her home club Agecroft RC which won the provincial club class.  The Lady Eleanor Holles School finished in some style in their Vespoli but just lost out on the schools’ pennant to a strong composite crew from Dame Alice Harpur/St Neot’s/Star.
