Head Season - 08/09

19/04/09
Abingdon Head
Another good day for the Women's IM3 4+ crew as they won their event at our second visit to Abingdon. Good races from other crews too, including Steve and I showing a huge improvement from last year to finish second in the Vet C/D/E 2x- class (and fastest Vet D boat) and a debut for Simon in the Vet C 4x-.

Bedford Small Boats Head 2009
A good win today for the Women's Intermediate 3 4+ crew (also taking second in this category) against a strong field. No other winners but some very good performances from the seventeen (yes, seventeen!) boats we put out. A good mix of crews across Men's, Women's and Junior squads and an impressive range of boats; we put out several coxed fours, a pair, several doubles and lots of singles.

Northampton Head 2009
A great start to the year, with MKRC taking no less than four wins from seven crews at the Northampton Head. The winning crews were the S3 4x- (the usual suspects...), the WS3 4+ (Paula, Becks, Clare and Yemin, coxed by Charlene), the Men's scratch S3 4+ (Paul, Nick, Will and Pierre-Yves, again coxed by Charlene) and, on their first competitive outing, the "handicapped pair" of Paul and Nick. Good rows from all the crews, showing much promise for the rest of the season? Lots of mixing up and swapping of crews shows good flexibility as well. Another racing debut today as well, from Lou.

Ely Head
First ever head race at Ely and MKRC put out four boats. Fastest crew was Salv and John but they were beaten into third in J18 2x. Best result of the day was Steve and Rob, winning the Vet 2x category. Good races from Jo and Curt, especially given their lack of recent race practice.

Bedford Autumn Small Boats Head
A brilliant day for the club as Kieran and John posted the first ever win for the Juniors! They took the honours in the J16 2x. A number of other good races, with Steve, Pierre and Rob mixing it up to put out three 2x crews, two Women's 4+ boats and the (pleasingly) inevitable large junior entry.

St Neots Head 2008
No less than three second places in this year's St. Neots Head, one for each of the doubles. Relatively small turn-out for the event, mainly because of a lack of competition for any of our fours/quads. Good performances all round, special mention to the Elliot twins who are showing real promise.
