A great turnout for the Ryde junior indoor rowing competition

Thanks to Steve for this latest news from Ryde Rowing Club. Ed

This was the second time the Forum has staged the competition, in what it is hoped will become an 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-five junior oarsman and woman taking part.

Three stages
There were three 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 three events – distance rowed in a fixed time, best stroke over 50m and a 250m sprint.

Medals were awarded for first, second and third places – for the distance in a fixed time – and the best performance over the three events. After completion of the individual competitions a relay was held, over 3000m, in teams of five, drawn from the hat from all three Clubs to round off a great days competition.
