Women's MD4+ Nicky Wild, Sarah Sykes, Alison Barker, and Annie Williams, coxed by Skye Jenkins, coached by Dave Sykes, win an elusive gold medal at Henley Masters Regatta. This is the first Ross women's 4+ crew to achieve this.

The crew raced a heat against Walbrook on Friday, in which they remained dominant all the way down, winning by two lengths. Then into the final on Saturday against St Neots; this was a tough race over the 1000 metre course, on the hottest day of the year, but the Ross women's crew held their nerve and really worked together as a team, maintaining technique and power and winning by half a length.
