This Early Id Sculling trial was held over a 5000mtr course in Boston,  
conditions were very good for the athletes albeit a little on the cold  side.
 
The boys J18 section raced over the course in the morning with the girls  J18
and boys J16 racing in the afternoon division. Maidenhead juniors came away  
with some outstanding performances and the likely-hood that several of our
young  athletes will be selected for GB teams in 2005.
 
David Jones finished in 19:00secs, 3rd place overall and Sam Ashburner  
finished in 19:27secs, 13th place overall which was an excellent performance  from
both Maidenhead boys against the top 200 juniors in the country.
 
In the afternoon division the junior womens squad also came away with some  
high placings. Louise Entwhistle still only J16 did well to finish in
22:12secs,  9th  place overall, Natalie Trinder also finished high up in 22:33secs,  
14th place, Jo Wright finished in 23:11secs, 45th place and Laurian Pepper  
finished in 23:13secs, 50th place. These results were against the top 137 junior  
women scullers in the UK, so a good performance from all the Maidenhead  
scullers.
 
Our J16 boys raced in the J16 event and of the 78 entries Max Gerrard came  
home in 20:57secs, 10th place and Matt Best finished just behind in 21:02secs,  
14th place. Again Maidenhead scullers finishing in the top 25% of scullers at
 this age group.
