Abingdon School had a Reading Regatta to remember with a hat-trick of successes.

They won both the elite eights and the senior eights and also showed their depth with a J18 squad scull success.

The elite eights win saw Abingdon beat Shrewsbury narrowly in the final. Shrewsbury then landed the J18 eights final after a close race with St Edward’s, Oxford.

City of Oxford and Wallingford clubs both achieved doubles.

Two City wins came in the women’s J18 doubles via Annie Robinson and Sian Morgan and the men’s J16 coxed fours.

Wallingford’s women’s 15 quad took a notable final scalp in the form of Headington, winners at the National Schools Regatta, while Andy Hull, also from Wallingford, won the novice singles.

Abingdon RC, the only non-university combination in the eight-crew women’s intermediate 3 eights, came out on top.

Oxford Brookes beat Abingdon School in the men’s novice eights final.

* FALCON Rowing & Canoe Club, from Oxford, were among the medals at the Masters Championships at a rain-swept National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham.

Naomi Sharma and Emma Robinson sculled in three disciplines in the Masters B category, striking gold in the intermediate quadruple sculls with Lil Cochrane and Ali Gruenwald, and coming third in the open of the same event with Zena Forster and Julie Steele.

Robinson took silver in the novice single sculls, while Camilla Scarf and Catriona Kay, taking part in their first regatta season, won bronze in the intermediate double sculls.

Cochrane, Forster, Gruenwald and Steele rowed in the open and intermediate three divisions of the Masters C quadruple sculls, finishing third in the open and winning the intermediate Masters C by a convincing margin of five lengths.
