The club’s men’s and women’s club eights won their respective divisions. In the sculling, Olympic hopeful Katrina Batemen won the open scull defeating fellow club member Skyla Froebel in second place. In the men’s scull, Alex Wolf had to be content with a second placing with Eric Low in third place. Greg Hansen picked up a win in the men’s masters quad scull in a composite crew with Melbourne. Alex Kinsella came close to picking up the club single. finishing second. In the parent and child double, the Sibillins and McDonalds could not keep up with the Mollards. Some images of the day. The busy regatta scene looking towards Princes Bridge … and the other way … and even the lawns next to Richmond were full The biggest breakfast day ever? Warm ups under the watchful eye of Paul McGann Coaches Casey Cobb and Brigette Carlile remaining calm in the busy regatta The men’s open eight depart on their ill fated mission, foiled by equipment failure before even racing a stroke in anger. The successful women’s eight departs making the Dr Bibi Colgan look silver. Winners are grinners ______________________________________________________________________________ Congratulations Kim Brennan Published 24th November 2019 Congratulations to Kim Brennan who this week was awarded the highest honour in world rowing, the Thomas Keller award. The prerequisite for this award is outstanding on-water success. However it must be accompanied by significant off water contribution to the sport. Kim has made an outstanding contribution to the sport both on and off the water. Kim on the podium at Rio Her award comes following a career that ended on a high note by winning gold in the women’s single sculls at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Along the way Brennan did the rare feat of racing and medalling in two Olympic events. She did this in the single and double at the London Olympics. The diverse rower has spent time racing in the pair and eight with the Beijing Olympics included in her repertoire. Congratulations Kim. ______________________________________________________________________________ Movember Published 21st November 2019 Some of our masters faking it for Movember. The masters trying to match Rod Pilmore and Tony Inglis. Where is Pincus when you need him? The President looks like he could have easily have taken on a detective role in a early 20th Century drama, maybe with Hamish Fitzsimmons as his offsider. ______________________________________________________________________________ Melbourne Head Entries Published 20th November 2019 The head season is at the sharp end with the Melbourne Head this weekend followed by the Head of the Yarra the following weekend. The entries for this weekend follow and include two child and parent double sculls, the Sibillins and the McDonalds.
