FOLKESTONE REGATTA, Sunday, 11th June 2023.

On the Sunday (11th June 2023) a small contingent from the Club travelled to Folkestone Regatta, partly in preparation for the South Coast Rowing Championships which is taking place in Folkestone in September and promoted by the Coast Amateur Rowing Association.

The Club crews competed in borrowed boats with the Men’s Coastal Junior Four Crew of Dan Sanderson, Ben Sanderson, Will Hall and Paddy Kearney with Bryony Reeve coxing winning their event by a length and a half.

The Men’s Coastal Junior Pair of Will Hall and Paddy Kearney suffered from some equipment and boat issues and could only manage 5th place – however the Clubs Men’s Novice Sculler, and Club Captain, Ben Sanderson had an excellent scull in his final winning the race by three lengths.
