Winners at Henley Women’s Regatta

Jun 23, 2024

Our women’s lightweight pair of Sophie Young and Jess Hardwick were victorious at Henley Women’s Regatta today, beating a Molesey / University of Surrey pair by ½ length in a close-fought final. Our crew had a bye to the final, but their opponents had disposed of Barnes Bridge Ladies’ RC by 2½ lengths in the semi-final. Congratulations to our crew on a well-deserved victory. They were rowing in their newly-named boat, the “Mary Hogg”.
