The event saw remarkable achievements from our athletes, with the J16 Boys 4+ and the Senior Girls Championship 4- securing prestigious medals in their respective categories.

The National Schools’ Regatta (NSR) is the UK’s premiere rowing event for junior rowers and attracts over 5,000 competitors aged 14 to 18 years. NSR is one of the UK’s biggest junior sports events at the 2012 Olympic Rowing venue, Dorney Lake.

The J16 Boys 4+ delivered an exceptional performance, clinching the silver medal in a fiercely contested A final. The team demonstrated incredible skill and determination, finishing a very close second, a testament to their hard work and dedication throughout the season.
