24 April 2024 It seemed plain sailing to the sailing team who placed 5th in the Bath Robe regatta on Chew Valley Lake on the weekend of 24 and 25 February. The regatta was organised by Bath university and included many top university and alumni teams from the South West. Abingdon sailors achieved remarkable success given this was the team's first ever participation in a team racing regatta. Lorem ipsum Bath Robe Regatta The possibility of international selection edged ever closer as the boat club took part in the second round of the season’s water trials in Lincolnshire in February. The standout result saw Eddie and Calum finish in 4th place in race one, then partnering with top athletes from other schools to finish 3rd and 6th respectively in race two. Well done to everyone for taking part and best of luck for the rest of the season. GB Trials Quite a racket! Having lost to Harrow last term, our 1st VIII were keen to restore some honour when they competed against them on 20 January. There were some closely fought matches including a 27-25 game where Nikhil and Harrison (2nd pair) lost to Harrow’s 1st pair. In the end, though, we took the win with an overall score of 12-4.
