The
Wallingford Head of the River on Sunday 5th December was won for the first
time by Wallingford RC who set a course record in the process. The race
received a record entry of 219 crews, nearly 100 of them in Eights. Osiris,
the Oxford women's Blue Boat were the fastest women's crew in both Eights
and Coxed Fours. Reading University after a disappointing Eight's race were
fastest men's coxed four although Abingdon School won three fours events
out of six entries. In the pairs Sean Morris and Colin Cusack were the fastest
pair, despite an overage age of over 50 and Phill Bentley and Ruth
Dooley of Vesta were the fastest women's pair. Provisional results were
posted to the internet before the results had actually been stapled to the
results board and full details and results can be found at http://www.wallingford-head.rowing.org.uk/.
