St Benedicts Regatta - 19th September

Team Bishop Bavin competed in the first regatta of the season on Sat 19th Sept and despite an unusually cold and windy start at Roodeplaat, the rowers put in a great performance. With many of them rowing in either their first ever regatta or rowing 2000m for the first time they can be rightfully proud of their achievements and we look forward to seeing them go from strength to strength.
For the record we participated in a total of 25 events, 15 of which were "A" events.
Our crews went on to win medal positions in 10 of the 15 events which is a great start to the season. The total medal tally was 7 Golds and 4 Silvers.
In the B & C races our crews did us proud and its clear that they will soon be challenging for slots in the A events.
Thanks to all the parents who made the trip out to Roodeplaat and showed their support.
