Holidays and work commitments led to a much reduced team from Ryde Rowing
Club attending the final Hants & Dorset ARA Regatta of the season, at
Bournemouth, on Saturday (14th August) - with just two oarsman competing. Mick
Jenner and Matt Allsopp both competed in the Men's Senior Sculls with Mick
Jenner easily qualifying for the final where he finished in 2nd place behind the
Hants & Dorset ARA champions from Poole. Matt Allsopp would also almost
certainly have qualified for the final - but unfortunately, in a rare incident,
one of his sculls snapped while he was making his final push to qualify
resulting in a capsize. However he recovered quickly to join Mick Jenner to race
in a Men's Senior Pair - where, in a combination in which they have never
competed before, they finished in an impressive 4th place in a large field. |
