Veterans' Head of the River Race 2017

DATE: SUNDAY, 26 MARCH 2017
VENUE: THAMES, LONDON

Agecroft top all provincial crews at the Vets' HoRR 2017.

Despite Men's HoRR being cancelled on the Saturday and a questionable start time during the flood tide at Sunday's more mature competition... Agecroft's masters crews beat all British crews outside the Thames basin.

The Masters Men were joined by a return of Masters Women for the first time in five years.   

The men's crew came 3rd in Masters C (11th overall) and the Women obliterated all other woman's crews winning Masters A (27th overall)! 

This follows an excellent result at North of England HoRR, the weekend before, with the crews winning Masters B/C and WIM2 respectively - as well as the Men's Senior squad winning Senior & IM2 eights. 

Charlotte Grandfield, Woman's Captain: "Great to have a chance to have a second race on the Tideway and put a few WeHoRR disappoints' to bed. Looking forward to seeing what the squad can do through regatta season when we join up again!"

James Harris, Men's Masters Captain:  "The masters' marginal gains plan is doing just that - with a marginal improvement against last season of one place in Masters C..." 

Another successful end to the head season for the club.
