Scullers Easter Update
Junior Women at School’s Head 2023
Vesta Master’s International Head
Sunday saw Vesta Master’s International Head which saw 38 TSS masters’ athletes race, real depth in these groups at the moment. And after a year developing momentum in the increasingly strong MM squad, they did it! A celebrated pennant for the Mas E 8+, congratulations to Ben and his men! Not to be outdone the WM group pushed hard, four quads were racing, and a committed performance resulted in a pennant for the W Mas E 4x-.

The End of Head Season
An amazing weekend of racing saw Head Season draw to a close. Friday saw Schools Head in mixed conditions and some great racing by all squads including some in their first Schools Head race. The JW had the performance of the day winning bronze for the JW Ch 4x-. Other strong results included 5 th for the JW 2nd 8+ and 10th for the JM Ch 4x-. On Saturday it was HORR with the SM showing their development from last year racing well and placing 55th overall, setting a strong platform to move forward as the year progresses. They were closely followed by Murray’s men of the Claire Mc group in 62nd, great to have two SM 8+ racing at HORR.
