A moment of history for Ryde R. C. at Newport Regatta on Saturday (30th July) as the Club won its first ever Hants & Dorset ARA Championship point at Veteran Status. The Club had always believed that they could be a threat in the Veteran status once one more of their Senior Squad hit 40 – allowing them to form a qualifying crew – and with Simon Saunders “coming of age” this month – he was able to team up with Mick Jenner, Nick Pike, Russell Page – and cox Bryony Reeve to enter the Championship status Veteran 40 event. An early test saw them drawn against current South Coast and Hants & Dorset ARA Champions from BTC in the heat – which Ryde won comfortably – only to face them again in the final after they qualified as fastest 2nd placed crew. But if anything the re-match was even more one-sided the Ryde crew emerging as comfortable winners.



There was also a good performance from the Ryde Senior Crew of – Ollie Bottrell, Ben Ade, John Gedling and Ian hayden – with Max Reeve coxing – who knocked out current Championship Leaders Coalporters in the heat – before finishing a close 2nd to BTC in the final.



There were further good performances from the Club Novice crews – the best coming from the Mens Novice B of Charlie Gedling, Charlie Norman, Joe Norman, Harvey Kirkby with Ed Newnham coxing – who won their heat and semi-final to claim a place in the final where they finished a close second. The Mens Novice A Crew of - Dale Buckett, Sam Corney, Andreas Hicks and Max Reeve with Katie Corney coxing also had a good race in the heat which they won to claim a place in the semi-final where they just missed out.



The Ladies Novice A Crew of Bryony Reeve, Gemma Smith, Leanne Mitchell and Sophie Brown with Max Reeve coxing continue to show improvement but failed to make the final.
