St Pauls Fixture On Saturday 15th Mossbourne organised a fixture against St Pauls Boys and Girls School. Unfortunately the Girls School had to withdraw because of a few illness/injury problems so our girls 8+ joined in with the boys racing. St Pauls boated 4 Year 9 8+’s to race our Boys top 8+ and Girls top 8+. St Pauls are one of the best private school rowing clubs in the country and regularly medal at the National Schools Regatta and have recently won Henley Royal Regatta at 6th Form level. We raced twice over 1000m, which is the distance year 9 crews will race at National Schools Regatta. The first piece was a dead heat between Mossbourne and St Pauls A. On the second piece St Pauls A+B crews took a narrow lead off the start but Mossbourne steadily worked their way through the field taking the lead at halfway and finishing half a length in front of all 4 St Pauls crews by the finish line! These results are really exciting and we can't wait to see how our year 9 squad do at their National Championships in July and the other regattas building up to it. A reminder that the provisional racing calendar can be found on our website - Racing Calendar There were lots of parents down cheering on the rowers, thank you to all who attended.
