FALCON Rowing and Canoe Club have been basking in recent success.
The Oxford-based outfit saw two members called up to the Great Britain Senior World Cup squad.
Sam Glover and Emily Hewitt, an Oxford Brookes student, both received the news this week.
They are joined by Amy Turner, who started at Falcon, but now paddles for Banbury.
There was further recognition for Enya Dale, who has been selected in the Great Britain junior team to represent her country in the Piestany International Regatta.
More good news for the club came when two of their senior paddlers triumphed in a high-profile event.
Jim King and Billy Butler won the arduous Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race.
The duo battled through tough conditions to win the 125-mile event in a time of 17hrs 27mins.
And in their first kayak race of the season, the club swept the board at the Basingstoke Regatta.
Fielding 40 boats, Falcon picked up wins in all categories, setting the standard ahead of their own regatta from their boathouse at Donnington Bridge from noon on June 18.
