St Mary’s rowing club won the Gauteng Championships, a title that has eluded us for several years. The rowers were exemplary during the course of the event, with several records tumbling under Saints’ onslaught.

The U14s, who started rowing in September, took the gold medal in the octuple, quad and double. The U15s continued their winning streak, winning the scull, double and octuple. The U16s outdid their previous achievements, winning silver in the four and bronze in the quad.

The Opens were superb, securing top three positions in the sculls, top two in the double, and bronze in the four. We had two crews entered into the 2nd quad event, winning gold and bronze. The finale of the women’s event is the first quad; our St Mary’s girls easily won this race.
