Ross Juniors shine at Evesham Junior Head

Unlike
regattas where crews race side by side, Heads are raced against the clock over
longer distances. The younger age groups (J11-J13) competed over 1400m while
the older juniors were racing over 1900m.

The Ross
juniors were up against crews from other clubs in the West Midlands and from as
far afield as Milton Keynes and Cardiff.

Ross juniors competed magnificently in
all their events, returning home with eight gold medals, eight silver and six
bronze – despite many of the younger rowers competing in Head racing for the first time in
their young careers.

Ian Howell,
Ross Junior’s Head Coach said he was “immensely proud of the efforts of all of
our junior rowers today. They showed great spirit and no little skill and also
had a lot of fun”.
