The highly successful Bexhill Rowing Club has won the Coast Amateur Rowing Association (CARA) league title for a record-breaking 17th consecutive year.

Bexhill were crowned 2017 champions after enjoying another very good day, with wins in almost every category, at the Worthing Town Regatta last weekend.

Racing started with the men’s senior scull, and Bexhill secured second and fourth via Mark Mitchell and Doug Holdaway respectively.

The two men teamed up later in the day to win the men’s senior pair. Greg Anderson and Dan Renner came second, which was enough to win their first senior pair title.

Mitchell, Anderson, Renner and Holdaway with cox Laura Quinn claimed a well-deserved second place in the men’s senior four, which helped secure the men’s senior aggregate for the day.

Not content with racing in the pairs and four, Renner also got the better of Phil McCorry to win the junior scull. Renner had already secured the junior scull title, with McCorry second.

The ladies’ junior pair of Abbie Little and Georgina Pepper struggled in the conditions, but managed to secure vital points for the club. They also teamed up with Quinn and Katherine Pickup to record an emphatic victory in the ladies’ junior four with their best race of the year.
