Marlow Town Regatta took place on Saturday 13th June over a 900m downstream course in good conditions. The river is wide enough at Marlow for three boats to race side-by-side where the number of competitors demanded.

Maidenhead Rowing Club sent a small contingent of junior crews and came away with two wins.

Girls

The WJ15 coxed quad of Emily Birch, Zoe Broadbent, Grace Alington and Hannah Wallace, coxed by Adam Bowler raced in the 'A' event. In the semi-final they defeated the local Marlow RC crew by two lengths.In the final against Royal Docks RC they stretched away to a comfortable 2 1/2 length victory.

The WJ18 Double Scull of Aimee Broadbent and Ailsa Buck won their semi-final comfortably against Royal Docks RC and Sir William Perkins School. They led the final against the Sir William Borlase crew until halfway but were overhauled in the second half of the race. Nevertheless this was a good performance as Ailsa Buck is only now regaining fitness after a long term injury.

In the WJ17 Single Sculls, Jess Kemple competed in the semi-final against Bryanston School and Bewl Bridge RC but did not reach the final.

Boys

The J14 Coxed Quad of Lewis Morgan, Josh Taylor, Michael Corio, Will Brockwell and cox Caitlin O'Shea won the "B" event. In their heat, they comfortably beat crews from Latymer and Canford School.
