This is a major event for crews to establish how well they are going  against other top athletes across the country. Racing conditions were tough, the  race was delayed by 30mins due to strong winds. 368 crews entered this  event. Star performance on the day came from Ally Brooks and Louise Entwistle who  not only won their WJ16 division by 36 secs from LEH but also beat all the  womens doubles in the older WJ18 category. This was an excellent achievement to  see this young crew perform well, above their age group, and record faster times  than the likes of Newark who represented GB at the Anglo-French match last  year.
 
This crew has recently received a helping hand as they have been provided  sponsorship in the form of a new boat to help them perform at the highest levels. In this new ERB International racing boat sponsored by Global Currency  Exchange and Sports Match they now have the equipment to compete at the highest levels. With impressive wins at Wallingford and now the Pairs Head this  crew are now on their way to challenge for a GB vest in 2005.
