QEHS rowers are in peak competition season at the present. Our rowers are competing most weekends, it is great to see them testing their hard won physical and technical skills across the north of England and beyond.
Last weekend saw crews racing at Durham City Regatta and at the Beach Sprints in South Shields.
Durham City regatta is always a popular over subscribed event. Here is a report from Adam R:

Jacob F rowing in a single won the Op J18 1x (B2). A special mention goes to Coach Kevin who won with his masters 8 coxed by Madeline from QEHS. Well done everyone!!
Everyone had a great, if not long and wet, day at Durham.
A small number of QEHS rowers participated in the northern section of the beach sprints cup at South Shields on Sunday. This format is becoming increasingly popular to compete in. Ariel had a very successful day, finishing an impressive 3rd, in her first try at beach racing.
Thank you to all coaches who helped our rowers to be able to participate at the weekend. We all appreciate your guidance and commitment to the sport.
Respect. Engage. Aspire.
