UNITED WE ROW

Tyne United Rowing Club is one of the leading clubs in the North East. We row on one of the best tidal rivers in the country. From our base on the Gateshead side of the river Tyne we offer great camaraderie, professional coaching, fantastic facilities plus an opportunity to take your rowing to the next level. Alternatively you can gently paddle, taking in the wildlife and a great view.

The LDS saw entries from Duncan and Allen in their singles. After some tricky marshalling both made it safely down the course and were happy with their rows. The SBH saw Rachel and Sophie race the masters women’s double sculls C-E category. They had a solid row and were pleased with their performance, but sadly no win for them today. Allen again rowed his single. Well done to all who rowed.
