This weekend, our Open Boys Rowing Team atteneded the National Competition held at the Excel Center in London.

With Rowing Training once a week, they completed additional fitness sessions to prepare themselves for the competition. Working together and motivating each other each step of the way, they arrived to the day of the National Competition nervous.

After a losing a crutch and striking a buoy, the Open Boys team pulled through and won their first race. After a small break, they returned to the water to complete their second race.

After a fault with one of the crutch plates, which ensured the rowers could row, the team was now down to three rowers. Pulling together, under guidance of the coxswain, they successfully won their second race.

With tensions running high heading into the final race, they faced the contenders for first, second and third place. With a powerful start, they took the lead. One of their competitors pulled back into the race as they matched our Open Boys' speed. Neck-and-neck until the end, our Open Boys found the energy and pushed through the tiredness and fatigue to cross the finish line.

Taking the gold and the National Trophy, they made South West Area Proud, Warwickshire proud and Sutton Coldfield Unit Proud.
