The war over used Japanese imports V the conven- tional manufacturers new and used system has been waged for some years, and has heated up again.

TE AWAMUTU rower Graham Oberlin-Brown (17) out training on Lake Ngaroto. Te Awamutu Rowing Club’s Graham Oberlin- Brown (17) produced some stunning form to pick up a silver medal at the North Island Club Cham- pionships at Lake Karapiro over the weekend. As the event only has under 21, senior and pre- miere events for the single sculls, he was racing against scullers several years his senior in the under 21 section. Despite feeling the effects of the ‘fl u, he posted the fastest time in the three heats (7m33.35), then went on to fi nish second in his semi-fi nal (7m53.30), before again fi nishing second in the A fi nal (7m54.23) behind Hauraki Plains rower Troy Hoogeveen. The result augurs well for the Te Awamutu Col- lege student, with future regattas including the Te Awamutu Secondary Schools Regatta at Lake Ngaroto this weekend and the North Island Sec- ondary Schools Championship at Lake Karapiro on March 10 -13.
