| Six gold medals and five silvers translated into a draw for overall first place with the home team at Leighton Buzzard! In doubles, the established crews of Chris & Ben, Jacque & Dave, and Finlay & Oliver all achieved medals, as did the surprise new pairing of Octavia and Kerry. Libby & Isabel also crewed up for the first time and showed a lot of promise. |  |
 | DOUBLES - 8 miles, 2 portages Div 4: Chris Sze & Ben Tubby 1st (1:06:01) Div 5: Kerstin Queeney & Jack Gaulton 5th (1:13:30) 4.5 miles Div 8: Octavia Abbott & Kerry Tubby 1st (42:38), Dave Cayford & Jacque Cayford 2nd (42:39), Libby Gaulton & Isabel Knight 5th (45:41) Div 9: Finlay Sandall & Oliver Klumpler 1st (45:40) Jaroslav did well to catch up in Div 7 as far as he did considering the amount of time lost by a capsize at the start. |
| Joe was paddling up into Div 1 to win his silver. Daniel and Eddie also won silver in their respective divisions. SINGLES - 12 miles, 6 portages Div 1: Joe Fitzpatrick 2nd (1:35:43) 8 miles, 2 portages Div 5: Eddie Kirtland 2nd (1:15:36), Tom Holloway 4th (1:33:47) 4.5 miles Div 7: Jaroslav Klumpler 7th (43:35) Div 9: Daniel Baines 2nd (45:06), Eilidh White 5th (46:30), Aaron Sandhu 13th (57:44), Petr Luksan 14th (1:03:08) |  |
 | Well done to Aaron for completing his first race. Under 14s (Geoff Sanders) 2 miles Div A: Jasper Kirtland 1st (17:16) Div B: Rupert Kirtland 5th (19:24) Div C: Emilie Klumpler 5th (26:54) K2: Jasper Kirtland & Rupert Kirtland 3rd (23:17) While the excellent results at Buzzard have not changed our overall position in the Eastern Region - we are still equal third with Leighton Buzzard CC - it has widened the gap with the clubs above and below, and a trip to the finals at Worcester now looks a lot more certain. The big question now is, can we edge ahead and finish the the season with an outright third place in the region? |
