Tideway Scullers School

The newly formed Scullers eight started the summer season with a very satisfactory result.

Racing Elite first allowed the crew to test themselves against some quality opposition from Leander, Molesey and London Rowing Club. After dropping a length in the first 500m, a strong middle 1000m saw them row down the Molesey crew and hold Leander. At the finish they were second, five seconds off a strong Leander Ladies' Plate crew.

The Senior 1 race later in the day was a chance to race crews of a level they are more likely to meet at Henley. Pushed hard by Agecroft in the first 500m, TSS were a length up on the field by half way and and defended their position to the finish without needing to race for the line. A positve start to the summer season and special mention goes to John Collins and Antony Smith for losing their novice sweep status at such a competitive level. TCG
