Schools HOR/HORR/Scullery 2023

ASRA had 30 athletes racing in 5 different boats at 3 different events across the weekend in London.

At the Schools Head of the River on Friday 17th March our J18 and J16 girls eights raced amongst a starting field of 329 crews. The J18s placed an impressive 6th out of 17 and the J16s beat another crew to come 6th out of 7, which is even more admirable when 6 of the 8 girls only started rowing within the last 6 months.
