Newark Rowing Club continued their winning streak at the South Yorkshire Head.
A small contingent of athletes from Newark traveled to Doncaster to take on some of the best clubs from Yorkshire and the North East in a day of action.
Club captain Andrew Joy said: “The club have had a great start to 2022 and the results we have achieved in South Yorkshire show the versatility of our teams, with new combinations performing in difficult conditions. .”
The Junior 17 women’s quadruple of Kate Revill, Kay Southwood, Millie Lyons and Maisie Maltby, who won her six-minute event, beat a City of Sheffield Rowing Club crew.
Molly Joyce and Lucy Jarvis’ Junior Women’s Sculls Double 18 and Junior Women’s Sculls Double 17 both had victories in their respective events.
The doubles then combined to form the junior women’s 18 doubles quadruple to claim victory over the host club.
Kate Revill and Kay Southwood completed the Junior Women’s victories by winning the Junior Sculls Double 16 by nine minutes.
Emma Cox and Emily Jackson competed in their first-ever rowing event – the Junior 15 Women’s Double Sculls – and placed second behind a strong team from Bradford.
The men’s section was as successful as the women’s team at Doncaster with many race wins.
The senior men’s small craft team continued their strong start to the year, which has already picked up back-to-back wins.
The Coxless pair of Andy Hare and Ashley Cowley remain unbeaten in 2022 after beating a Burton-on-Trent crew by over a minute.
The new combination of Hari Koli and Niall Smith put in a solid performance to take third place in the Masters Double Sculls.
The junior men’s team rounded out the day’s wins.
The crew of James Gleed, Charles Russell, Will Lees and Edward McDermott had a close race against a long-serving Doncaster crew, taking a 20 second victory.
