A brilliant club effort saw a really well organised Head partly ruined by the dastardly rain – by the time Division 1 was raced the river had risen from yellow to red boards meaning that Division 2 had to be cancelled.
Still there was some hotly contested racing in conditions that, apart from the stream, were actually very good. Wallingford RC had one winner, our outstanding Womens Masters E 8+ of Alice Brown, Janet Dutton, Karen Walker, Rachel Edge, Katie Guyatt, Jenny Taylor, Laura Forrest, Becky Waller, cox Georgia Dowdeswell who beat off younger competition to win by well over one minute.
Our afternoon crews’ attempts at victory were foiled by the high water! Many thanks and congratulations to the Events Committee and the many volunteers who made this the exceptional Head race that so many clubs enjoy at the onset of winter.
