The weather no excuse as Maidenhead hit the water
Maidenhead RC have had a very busy month on the water during November.
One of many successes, the club registered three wins in Pangbourne Junior Sculls.
The course was beautiful, with almost no wind and lovely sunny weather.
In the first division, over the long 3,000m course, Carmel Bevan comfortably won the WJ14 single sculls, with Maidenhead's Hannah Shimmin and Katherine Henderson 4th and 8th respectively,out of a field of 13.
In the boys' section, Maidenhead's J16 Double scull of Compton and Lilley gained third place out of a field of 13, just three seconds behind the winners.
In the second division, the Intermediate Maidenhead squad WJ13 Coxed Quad of Fifi Bevan, Lexy Dobson, Rebecca Reeve and Henrietta Jenkins, coxed by Emma Sanerkin, stormed the 1,750m short course in a time of 7 min 17.5sec, over 45 seconds ahead of the nearest of their four competitors and comfortably faster than any of the eight boys crews too. In the same division Felicity Young came an impressive third (out of 7) in her first single sculls race.
In the third division, again over the 3,000m long course, the Maidenhead boys J15 double scull of Ryde and Hazine claimed an impressive win with Lilley and Powell fourth, out of a field of 18. In the J16 single sculls Tim Wildbore came a promising third out of a field of 36.
The WJ15 double scull crew of Emma Sanerkin and Aimee Broadbent came third (out of 8) and in the WJ14 double sculls, Fifi Bevan and Lexy Dobson (rowing up a year) came an impressive second, just ahead of Maidenhead's Hannah Shimmin and Lucy Brockwell in third.
