CARA Championship Regattas 2010

    The 2010 Coastal Rowing Season has started with six regattas run so far. fingers crossed that we continue as we are, the one cancellation was successfully Held last weekend at Worthing. Four regattas to go followed by the South Coast Championships as Wimbleball on the 11th September. This could be the earliest finish to a season that I can remember. It should give the crews plenty of time to adapt to river boats before the championship regatta.

Senior Championship Events

    Congratulations must go to Mark Mitchell of Bexhill for clinching the Senior Mens Sculls championship in six straight wins along with being part of the bexhill clubs championship winning mens senior four. I suspect the he also clinched the mens senior pairs at Worthing being that Mark was part of the pairs team winning five races. at previous regattas. (I dont have the result so not certain of this). Its a tough game to win all three championships in one season and thats by anyones standards. Well Done Mark.

    The Ladies Senior champions are Worthing. Deal have taken one win from them and Hastings have been very close. The Ladies Senior pairs is very tight. Hastings are leading with three wins closely followed by Bexhill on two and Worthing with one. All to play for still.

Veteran Fours

    The Veteran fours is being lead by Worthing after six regattas. They are four wins up to Eastbournes two but the racing has been close . Herne Bay and Bexhill have been very close to both crews but so far have not secured a win.

Junior Championship Events

    In the Mens Junior fours, Bexhill lead Shorehman four wins to two. The Junior Mens pairs is very tight, Shoreham and Bexhill both have two wins with Dover and Worthing both having one. Anyone of the four crews could win that one. Similalry in the Junior Sculls, Folkestone have three, Shoreham have two and both Bexill and Herne Bay have one each. These could go down to the last regatta at Folkestone.

    In the Ladies Junior fours Bexhill Lead Herne Bay by four wins to two. In the new Ladies Pairs championship its also very close. Bexhill started the season in fine form winning three events but Shoreham and Herne Bay are close on their heals. Shoreham having won two events and seem to have Bexill in their sights. Herne Bay taking a regatta from their rivals.

Mens Junior Senior Championship

    Deal are champions for the second year in a row.

League and Grand Aggregate

    Bexhill have run away with it again. It will need and almighty collapse by Bexhill to allow anyone to catch them in either cup. They are almost double the points of anyone else in the league. Not only winning titles but getting very good placings to boot. Similarly in the Grand challange cup with almost three times anyone else.

VIKING SHIELD 2010 - Herne Bay

This years pre-seaon Regatta for the viking sheild was once again held at Herne Bay. The event is predominantley for Kent clubs but the invite is open to all in the association and was well attended by all clubs. The main race of the day is the Men's Senior Pairs for the viking sheild and the honour of hosting next years event. Twelve crews took to the water and were set off on an even start. The Sheild can only go to a Kent club but any coud take the winners prizes. The competition was hot from the off. The Viking Sheild holders Epps & Cooper from Herne Bay set off strongley along with last years race winners, Cahill & Mitchell from Bexhill. These crews were closely followed by Viking Sheild holders for the previous ten years, Hoskin & Ingram from Herne Bay , the second crew from Bexhill Cahill & Holdeway and Glinn & Morgan from Kent rivals Deal, Walmer & Kingsdown. Could the younger Pair from Herne Bay retain their title and improve by winningthe race from the Bexhill Pair.

At the conclusion the Bexhills Cahill & Mitchell proved too strong for the field winning the race in 8mins 47 secs. The race was still on for the Viking Shield, Would Herne Bay dominate again or would Deal take their crown? In the end it was Epps & Cooper who retained the crown for Herne Bay in 9min 06secs in second place. Bexhill were third, Herne Bay fourth and Deal fifth.
