Remarkable River Exe results for Torquay Rowing Club

The City of Exeter Regatta attracted 183 entries from around the region for the fourth regatta in the West of England Amateur Rowing Association’s ten regatta Championship series.

Held on the river Exe at Exeter Quay with just three racing lanes over a 450-metre sprint course, the entries necessitated 115 events.

Conditions on the sheltered short course were perfect on a cloudy but still day. Both Torquay and Paignton competed, albeit with small squads of rowers.

Torquay achieved some excellent results with Will Jackson-Heritage winning the Championship Open Under 14 single sculls; Sophie Evans was second in the Championship Ladies Under 14 single sculls; Vensan Crushcov was third in the Championship Open Under 18 single sculls; and a composite crew of Torquay and Paignton were third in the Championship Open Under 14 coxed quadruple sculls.

The next regatta in the Championship series is the Falmouth Regatta on Stithians Lake on July 20.
