STRATFORD-upon-Avon Boat Club’s under-17 squad competed on the Olympic Course at Dorney Lake in the Scullery Regatta.
The event took place over a 2,000m stretch of water and attracted some of the best scullers from across the country as well as rowers from South Africa and Ireland.
Stratford’s women’s double scull of Martha Cooke and Martha Baines finished 10th in their time trial ahead of Kingston Rowing Club and West Midlands rivals Hereford.
A strong row in the B final saw the pair repeat the performance to claim a fourth-place victory.
Stratford’s single sculler Maeve Dunn reached the B final of her event despite a minor equipment malfunction.
And Dunn held onto third place in the B final up to the 1,500m marker only for her competition to overtake her late in the race.
Stratford’s J17/18 coach, Steve Wellstead said: “A superb row to come back after a tough time trial.”
