Wycliffe Rowing winning again

August 11, 2021

Exciting times for Wycliffe Rowing and a chance for all that training to pay off as Henley Royal Regatta gets underway today.

Two of our female crews have made the draw in The Diamond Jubilee Challenge Cup (JW4x) & 1 male crew for the Fawley Challenge Cup, the undisputed peak of junior men’s sculling, (JM4x).

This comes off the back of a very successful British Championships at the end of July where our girls J18 ‘A’ quad came away with a well deserved silver 🥈.

The Diamond Jubilee Challenge Cup was instituted in 2012. The event is open to crews from any one club or school, home and overseas, where no sculler will have attained her eighteenth birthday before the first day of September preceding the event. Her Majesty The Queen graciously consented to the event being titled to mark her 60 years on the throne, the year in which the event was instituted.

The Fawley Challenge Cup was offered for the first time at the Regatta in 1992. Now only open to crews from any one club or school, home and overseas, where no sculler will have attained his eighteenth birthday before the first day of September preceding the event.

We wish them all the very best! Go fast, go strong!
