The Ball Cup, Sunday 12th May 2024 and Shoreham Regatta, Saturday 11th May 2024.

Wightlink sponsored Ryde Rowing Clubs J15 Sculler - Charlie Watts – competed in the Ball Cup Regatta – at Dorney Lake, Eton - on Sunday (12th May 2024)

The purpose of the Ball Cup Regatta is to allow the schools and clubs which cannot semi-final or final at national events to compete against each other on a multilane course. The overriding aim of the Ball Cup is to give small and emerging clubs and their emerging competitors a chance to experience true competition and the chance to win.

Charlie competed in two event the J15 Single Sculls event and the J16 single sculls event.

In the J15 Single sculls event he finished first in his heat and in the final. In the J16 Single sculling event he again finished 1st in his heat and 2nd in the final – an outstanding performance against some strong competition.

 

On the Saturday (11th May 2024) another Club Sculler – Ben Sanderson – competed at Shoreham Regatta in the Men’s Coastal Sculling event but unfortunately, he capsized just after the turn in some pretty rough condition - failing to complete the course.
