This in from Steve on behalf of Ryde Rowing Club. Ed
Wightlink sponsored Ryde Rowing Club hosted the fourth Isle of Wight Rowing Forum Junior Indoor Rowing Competition on Sunday (29th November) at their Appley Park Clubhouse.
The annual event and 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 twenty-seven junior oarsman and woman taking part.
Two staged event
There were two stages to the event, in line with British Rowing’s guidelines and as used at the National Junior Indoor Rowing competition, at which we hope many of these athletes will compete 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 in each event. After completion of the individual competitions a relay was held, over 3,000m, in teams of five, drawn from the hat from all three Clubs to round off a great day’s competition.
