BTC Southampton Regatta, Saturday, 23rd May, 2009.

 Holidays and injury led to a depleted team from the Wightlink sponsored Ryde Rowing Club competing at BTC Rowing Club Regatta, held at western shore, Southampton,  on Saturday (23rd May, 2009) but they still returned to the Island with two wins to their credit.
 
 In the Men's Senior Pairs a new format of Russell Page, racing in this event for the first time this season, with current H&D Champion Ian Hayden, dominated the race winning by four lengths to claim a 3rd Championship Point - extend the clubs unbeaten run - and put them well on the way to defending the Championship title won last years in this status.
 
 Ryde also continued their domination this season in the Men's Senior Sculls events with Mike Jenner winning comfortably to claim his first point of the season and close the gap on Ryde's Nick Pike who was not in attendance. Ian Hayden, recently returned from injury, also competed in the Men's Senior Sculling event, finishing in 3rd place proving he is nearly back to his best and ready to challenge for the title as well.
 
 The Men's Junior Senior Crew of  Florian Behrle, Callum Lowe, Tim Wiggins and Tom Clark with Bryony Reeve coxing contested a very competitive race - finishing second to Island rivals Shanklin. Florian and Callum then went on to compete in the Men's Novice sculls finishing 5th and 7th respectively in their final. Tom Clark was scheduled to compete in the men's Junior Sculls but with the Regatta running late and the risk of running out of water the starters were unable to wait for him to reach the start of his event which was the race after the Junior Senior Final. He arrived on the line a full minute after the other scullers has started and although bravely giving chase had given himself far to much to do.
 
 The Men's Novice Crew of John Gedling, Donnatt Debrecan, Curtis Lowe and James Cleary with Dale Buckett coxing produced a much improved performance, finishing 3rd in their heat, to claim a place in their first Novice Final - where admittedly they found the going much tougher finishing 6th are a spirited row.
