One junior double achieved a creditable place in the final against a strong field.  Although they didn't medal, some potential for future years and the coming season, whilst the other double, still J13's raced in J14 doubles. Finishing third in their heat gained them a place in the repecharge where they finished strongly but not quite fast enough for the final.  This was a strong display from a young crew and we look forward to seeing them develop further in 2009 - 2010.

The last club representative in juniors made the semi final of J17 1x.  A strong headwind and strong opposition saw him finishing 6th but pleased that he had made the semis.  In his composite 4- with Durham School, they rowed well in the heats but were just piped for place in the final.  Having gone into the repecharge as one of the faster crews they rowed a little below expectation and were disappointed not to reach the final, perhaps indicative of only one outing before the race in the crew!

The young group of juniors we have going into 2009 - 10 season all look very enthusiastic and have a strong base to move forward as the season progresses with help from Colin, John and David, amongst others.  Several of the older juniors, J16's and above will be rowing with their respective senior squads and will hopefully acquit themselves very well under the men’s and women’s senior coaches.
