Crews' control
SIR William Borlase's Grammar School put some more renowned rowing schools in their place at the prestigious Wallingford Regatta recently, with a host of top-three finishes against national opposition.
Leading the way, Matthew Bedford, Tom Wright, James Quarrington and U16 rower Jamie Cartland won the junior quad, before the three older rowers joined up with with Jonathan Clegg to win the senior quad race.
In the women's junior quad, Kate Hewitt, Phoebe Lucas and U16s Hannah Shimmin and Fran Scrambler came second, before Shimmin and Scrambler went one better at U16 level.
Crewing with Flick Heath and Emma Fitzpatrick, they won gold by a bow ball.
The U14s octuple continued the strong showing with third.
Borlase crews were also to the fore in the Marlow Spring Regatta, with the U15 girls and U14 boys both reaching their finals.
But they were ecplipsed by Rob Connell, who won the U16 single event by one length.
Director of rowing Dave Currie said: "This is the best squad we have had in a long time and the results are testament to the hard training the team have put in over the winter season."

The team are doing incredibly well, congratulations to all of them, it's just a shame the newspaper spelt Francesca Scambler's name wrong!
