LRC had a successful weekend at the Metropolitan Regatta (3-4 June 2017), with our best results for a few years.
London's Wyfold A crew finished third in the Championship Coxless Fours event on both Saturday and Sunday to Leander and Edinburgh University, neither of whom would be eligible for the Wyfold Challenge Cup at Henley. London beat all other eligible club boats.
Our Thames Challenge Cup A eight finished 6th in the Championship Eights event on Saturday and were not too far off the pace, racing a gutsy race the whole way through. On Sunday the Oxford Brookes contingent rolled up and bumped our guys out of the A final into the B final where London finished 5th in a tight race. Considering there were a total of nine finals in the event, finishing 5th in the B final was a good result.
The crews:
Wyfold A: Matt Cummings, Nick Parnell, Steve Griffiths, Dom Parnell
Wyfold B: Rupert Price, Jack Davidson, Louis Orzco, James Sexton Barrow.
Thames Cup A: Seb Thomas, Dylan Wing, Todd Hale, Tom Neeld, Tom Monoghan, Jamie Saunders, Matt Reeder, Lucas Vitale, Kim Wilkinson.
Thames Cup B: Will Golding, Aidan O Flaherty, Josh Meredith, Chris Linn, Woody Sandhu, Nick Adams, George Trewlany, Rory Corbett, Charlotte Fuscone
