My masters squad at Grosvenor Rowing Club posted their first wins at Warrington Rowing Club's Head of the Mersey, a race run in two 1500m legs, one upstream and the other downstream. We won Vet C/D 4x (quad sculling) in a boat loaned to us by Warrington and Vet C/D 4+ even though we were actually a Vet E crew.
I was rowing at bow in the coxed four (borrowed from Liverpool Victoria Rowing Club), ably steered by 15 year old Daisy, whom we borrowed from Warrington Rowing Club.
Anyone would think we had no equipment at Grosvenor R.C. but the fact is they have been digging up the road outside our club and making it very difficult getting things like boats and trailers in and out.
So many thanks to our neighbouring clubs for helping us out.
