Maidenhead win two first place medals and one 3rd place at Hampton Small Boat's Head Maidenhead Rowing Club juniors put up some excellent performances at Hampton Small Boats Head held over a downstream 3000mtrs course on Saturday 27th November.
This small boat’s head attracted the top junior Schools and Clubs from across the UK. Most of the singles and doubles that entered at J18 level included GB potential athletes aiming for GB selection. With the standard so high it was good to see Maidenhead Juniors competing well and winning against such tough opposition. First win of the day came from Louise Entwhistle who not only won WJ 16 singles sculls but did so in a time that placed her in 2nd overall position at WJ18 level, ahead of some GB Junior athletes. Second medal win of the day was a third place medal awarded to Ally Brooks who had a field of 35 scullers to contend with. Maidenhead entered 4 scullers in this event and all finished in high positions, see results below. Third win was a first place medal to Louise Entwhistle and Ally Brooks who teamed up to race again in the afternoon division in WJ16 doubles. This double won its WJ 16 division and finished a very credible 3rd overall in the Womens double sculls category. Natalie Trinder and Jo Wright raced in WJ18 double sculls and did extremely well to finish in 2nd place in this division and 4th fastest double overall, just behind Louise and Ally. This was a good result for two Maidenhead doubles to finish in 3rd and 4th overall positions. Laurian Pepper also had a very good scull and finished in 3rd place in the WJ17 sculls category.
