44 Athletes from Brentford Boat Club entered their largest number of races at this year’s National Schools Regatta. This is the flagship event of the junior rowing season with over 5,200 competitors from the UK and Ireland at Holme Pierrepoint in Nottingham.
Three days of rowing were shortened to 2 days owing to poor weather conditions, but this did not dampen the energies of the girls and boys from Brentford Boat Club whose performances were noticed by all present. The crews reached 8 finals and showed that they were very much in the mix with great performances:
