Towy Tri Rivers – 1st in Class!!
A fantastic day was had at the Towy Tri Rivers challenge. Towy were as always super organised and amazingly hospitable, you guys are a real role model for our sport! We entered a mixed vets team: Samantha English, Phil Perkins, Jeff English and Sarah Skinner, coxed by our big buddy Richard James from St Dogmaels. It was a tough row out on an incoming tide. We didn’t give up and powered on, flying on the return trip upriver to the Towy Boathouse. An amazing curry, awesome speech by the chairman at Towy (it was their 40th birthday!), two wins in the raffle and first in class and second Celtic home. Love you guys!! XXX
Llangrannog Race 2011
At their third attempt Crannog were finally given a break with weather and sea conditions and put on a great event.
Aberporth Teams Race highlights:
Tilly ladies did it again, winning their second league race in a row! They did it in some style finishing a considerable distance ahead of the rest of the 11 strong field. Well done team!
Leanne Philips, Donna Philips, Hayley Morris, Kathy French & Tim Ogg (cox)
We had our first junior team competing since the club reformed 3 years ago. Tilly Juniors did really well in difficult sea conditions to win the under 18 girls race. Well done to all the girls and to Chris New (junior coach) who has worked hard with the juniors over the last few weeks to get the team ready to race.
Girls Under 18's Team with coach Chris New
There was a good battle in the mixed race between the two Aberporth teams. Despite both teams being unfortunate at the start of the race they worked their way through the field but couldn’t shake off each other. They battled right to the end finishing in 7th & 8th with Dolwen finishing just 4 seconds ahead of Tilly Whim.
Well done everyone today. Race pics
