CHEERS TO OUR CHAMPS<br />

NZ ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS<br />

It was action and intense competition on the water throughout the recent<br />

<strong>2018</strong> Rocket Foods New Zealand Rowing Championships at Lake Karapiro,<br />

with Robbie Manson a star standout, completing a third Premier class<br />

victory of the regatta with the retention of his men’s single sculls title.<br />

In the battle for the Sir Bernard Freyburg Cup, Robbie was a class apart,<br />

comfortably adding to the men’s premier double sculls and men’s premier<br />

quad sculls crown he also snared.<br />

In the men’s eight final, a powerful Waikato unit with Anthony Allen at<br />

stroke and Caleb Shepherd as coxswain, held off Central RPC to win by a<br />

length.<br />

Brooke Donoghue produced a dominant display to secure her maiden<br />

premier national women’s single sculls with a stylish performance.<br />

The Boss Rooster Trophy, one of the most prestigious prizes in New<br />

Zealand rowing, went to the North Shore Rowing Club in a rip-roaring battle<br />

against West End Rowing Club.<br />

Teaming up with the Spoors siblings (Lucy and Phoebe), Grace<br />

Prendergast and Emma Dyke (Southern RPC) added the women’s premier<br />

coxless four title to the women’s premier pairs crown they also won<br />

emphatically.<br />

In the women’s eight, Central RPC regained the title they last won in 2016.<br />

Two-time World lightweight single sculls world champion Zoe McBride<br />

racked up a routine fourth successive Michels Cup win from her fellow<br />

Central RPC athlete Jackie Kiddle.<br />

Defending premier lightweight double sculls champions Harrison<br />

Somerville and Jordan Glasson (Central RPC) were relieved of their title by<br />

Chris Stockley and Zak Everitt. Full results can be found at rowit.nz<br />
