Rutherford Head 2018

Written by Sophie Milburn

A fabulous turn out by the women’s squad saw us enter a women’s masters D eight in division 1. They competed strongly and it was a solid first race for the eight. In the afternoon we had another eight in the senior women’s event. They did well and coped admirably with a steering issue. We also had a masters women’s C quad in division 2, who rowed well in a hotly contested category.
