juniors from Ross Rowing Club joined many of their senior club mates in competing at Stourport Regatta on Saturday August 13th and Sunday August 14th.

A small group of juniors competed over the longer course of 1100m on Saturday and performed with guts and determination, despite not winning any of their events.

On the Sunday the junior academy turned out in force and there were excellent wins for Gabby Howell in the women's J11 single scull event, Pippa England in the WJ13 single scull (beating her club mate Skye Jenkins in the final), Johan Lai in the J14 single scull event and also in the J14 double sculls event with Henry Jones, and finally Effie Hiram, Molly Phillips, Caitlin Scott, Catrin Morris and cox Jess Crossman won the women's J15 coxed quad event.

Junior Captain Mark Scott commented: "This was a very busy weekend for our juniors and they all performed really well. We are delighted for those who won but very proud of every single one of our squad."
