Peterborough City rowers enjoyed some Autumn success in Cambridge
Peterborough City Rowing Club enjoyed a successful outing at the Cambridge Autumn Regatta, returning home with a collection of wins across multiple boat classes.
Racing over the 550m sprint course on the River Cam, Sarah Watson kicked off the club's winning streak with a decisive victory in the Women's Band 1 Single Sculls.
The success continued in the double sculling events. Lisa Wade and Abielle Hallas combined brilliantly to claim the Women's Masters A/B Double Sculls, while Anita Carter and Joan Heath added another victory to the tally in the Women's Masters E/F/G Double Sculls.
City also enjoyed success in the larger sweep-oar categories. The Women's Masters 8+ crew—consisting of Clare Dobler, Denise Parker, Ann Casey, Kerry Manning, Audrey Jones, Helen Mosley, Sarah Gullan-Whur, and Andy Marchant, coxed by Ian Davis—powered over the finish line to clinch a win by 0.4 seconds.
Several members of the women’s 8 teamed up once more to secure victory in the Mixed Masters E/F Eight. The crew was Denise Parker, Andy Marchant, Helen Mosley, Audrey Jones, Neil Elder, Barry McCann, Doug Barber, and Damian Roberts, with Ian Davis steering from the cox's seat.
