27 QEHS Rowing club athletes qualified to represent the Northern region at the junior Inter-regional regatta, held at Nottingham. The JIRR event is a competition for the best crews from all the regions of England, Wales and Scotland. This was a record number of QEHS athletes selected to represent the region. All crews participate in a time trial in the morning followed by a final in the afternoon. The finals are raced side by side which is exciting for the spectators to watch. The overall competition was won by London Upriver with 255 points, and the Northern region came 6th out of 13 regions with 189 points.
