46 SCHOOL NEWS J16 VIII mark in 20 years. In anticipation of flooding, some of the boats had been loaded onto trailers which allowed the senior boys and girls to travel to the River Dee to get some time out on the water, kindly hosted by King’s Chester and Royal Chester. The J15s continued to enjoy getting out on the water in small boats at Bomere while the Severn rose to head height at the bay doors. The Boat Club only had one chance to race at the start of 2020, sending the J16s and Seniors to the Wycliffe Big Head. It was great to see a provisional 1st VIII taking to the water on the Gloucester Berkeley Canal and dominating the field, winning the first division overall. They were the fastest crew out of 17 J18 and Senior Men’s eights, including some strong competition from schools such as Abingdon, Radley, St Edward’s and Shiplake. The Senior girls and J16s weren’t to be outdone and despite the Senior girls racing in mixed boats, they won the Women’s Coxless Quad event. J16 boys won their event with an impressive row, ten seconds clear of their nearest competition from Radley. Sadly, for all involved, the racing season ended there, with all further events cancelled due to the COVID-19 restrictions. While the racing stopped, the training did not, with millions of metres covered on bikes, ergos and on foot as the boys and girls rose to the various challenges set over lockdown. One of the challenges set to the athletes and coaches was to ‘Conquer the Severn’ by completing 354km by running, rowing or cycling the distance (cycled distance was halved). Whilst the coaches took a more measured approach of covering the distance over six weeks, there were some phenomenal feats from five of the rowers (Dan Grinnall, Sophia Urquhart, James Crews, Tim Manka and George Bramwell) who completed the distance in under three weeks. It is at this point in every ‘normal’ year where I would be writing of the successes or disappointments that go hand in hand with a Henley Royal Regatta campaign. Whilst it would be foolish to try and predict an outcome, what I can say with certainty is that our 1st VIII and 1st Quad would have been hard to beat and have rightly earned their names on the ceiling of the Boathouse among the generations that have come before them. We celebrate our departing Upper Sixth rowers and wish them every success for the future. The Sabrina Club welcomes them with open arms to continue their journey with the sport we love.
