The early stages of the season is always an opportunity for Headington to put boats out that are not lead / top boats. The purpose of this is to ensure that the whole squad is developed rather than key individuals. Overall the boat club had some very good results considering the fact that they were competing against schools who were boating top crews.
Headington recorded the following events:

1st and 2nd in the Women’s Junior 15 Quadrouple Sculls.
1st and second in the Women’s Intermediate 2 Doube Scull.
1st and 2nd in the Intermediate 1 Single Scull.
2nd and 3rd in the Intermediate 1 Quadrouple Sculls.
Although coaches were happy with crew boat performances, single sculling performances are an area that need to be developed over the winter. It is only when all individuals improve this skill, do crew boats really make marked improvements.
EVESHAM JUNIOR HEAD: Saturday the 15th October 2011
The J13 and J14 rowers competed at the Eversham Junior Head Race this weekend where they recorded the following results:
Well done to the Women’s Junior 13 Quadruple sculls who recorded 1st and 3rd places in their races.
Congratulations to one of our J12s who was third in the Women’s Junior 13 Single Scull. A great achievement!
The J14s had a successful day with a 2nd and 3rd place recorded in the Women’s Junior 14 Quadruple sculls.
Evesham is a small event with only a few clubs involved. However, it was encouraging to see that these results were recorded with Headington mixing the crews so that the crews demonstrated strength across the squad. The focus at this stage of the season is to continue to develop the junior age groups.
Thank you to all the parents for your support and encouragement. A great day for all involved.
Thanks to parents who sent these photos in.
