Megabeam Youth Series Saturday 12th

Two of the experienced rowers from U23 Female Sideswipes and two from Reserve Women Wild Turkz were thrown together to race at the Megabeam Youth Carnival Saturday finishing 3rd. A great result considering they have rowed together only 2-3 times prior. This crew aka U23 Female Coolum Krunks will work on their combination over the next couple of weeks and head to the Australian Selection carnival and Australian Short Course Championships at Queenscliff, NSW.

 

QLD NAVY Series Round 2 Sunday 13th

Sunday saw our crews hit the water in for the second round of this series which doubled as a points collector to be eligible for QLD Representative selection. U23 Sideswipes improved well in the most challenging conditions they have rowed into to date.

Our Reserve Grade Wild Turkz showed great consistency from the previous weekend with a 2nd place in the final. Our Open crew, the Thundercrackers rowed well in some tight racing to get to the final. They rowed into 2nd place however, a rare mistake by sweep David Tomba saw the crew miss a spot on the podium, finishing a creditable 4th.

The Thundercrackers are heading to Dee Why, NSW this weekend to tackle round 1 of the elite surf boat event, the Ocean Thunder Series. For those that don't know surf boats, this is akin to the Nutri Grain for surf boat rowing
