abingdon.org.uk Schools Head of the River The Schools Head of the River presented a formidable challenge, with Abingdon's junior rowers aiming for top rankings. Senior crews, navigating a difficult term, finished respectably. The J16 crews demonstrated strong form, with the B eight securing 6th and the A eight narrowly missing a higher placing due to an on-course incident. The J15 squad delivered exceptional results, with all three eights achieving top-six finishes, highlighting their considerable potential. The event, a culmination of winter training, showcased the rowers' dedication, skill, and resilience. The impressive performances underscored the squad's depth and ability to compete at a high level. The team now looks ahead to the regatta season, poised for further success after a productive winter of training and competition. Lorem ipsum Twelve Lower School teams took part in a football tournament towards the end of term to raise much needed funds for Meningitis Research.
