TWO crews from Hexham’s Queen Elizabeth High School Rowing Club qualified to represent the Northern Team at the weekend’s national Junior Inter Regional Regatta.

The J16 coxed four of Christian Chomse, Tom Smith, Harry Andersen and Tom Archer, with cox Andrew Watson, qualified for the A final where they finished sixth after taking an early lead.

The J15 coxed four of Andrew Howard, Abe Parkin, Tom Mawson and James Brown, with cox Joel Driver, just missed out on the A final with the seventh fastest time, but did well to win the B final.

Both crews enjoyed their trip down, though, and were encouraged by their performances.
