Thames Ditton Regatta

Tiffin saw a number of crews race the 1000m upstream course of Thames Ditton on 15th May. It was great to see so much support for the boat club all throughout the day, helping keep spirits high. This is an event that Tiffin compete highly in every year, and this year was no exception.

Special mentions go to Geroge Nottidge, for winning the Novice singles fairly comfortably. And also for winning the Junior doubles with Jonathan Williams, narrowly beating the second double of Aaron and Greg in a Tiffin Vs Tiffin final.

The J15s put out a number of singles, all competing and racing well through the rough conditions. Neil, Elliot, Ben, Ed and Charlie all put in their best efforts and Ed raced well to get to the semis putting in an extra spurt only to lose out by 1.75L.

The J14 quad reached the 'A' final of their event winning their first race easily. They then went on to race the final after Isaac and Jack competed in the singles as well.

The J16 four lost to a highly competitive KGS four on their stretch of river. The quad from the same year won their semi comfortably with a fantastic time, but couldn't hold their form for the final. Richard raced in the singles losing out to his pairs partner in the semis. Overall good preparation for National Schools on 28th.

A thank you to all those who raced and supported making the day go smoothly, we hope to see you all in regattas to come.
