Norwich Hasler (18 May 2025)

18/5/2025

 
Picture
There was perfect paddling weather at Norwich, which attracted a huge turnout of 170 competitors (though admittedly over 40% of these were from Norwich CC itself). There were some excellent Stortford performances and a number of promotions.
The Div  7 race had 19 entries, but Robert  got a good start and sat in second place throughout. As well as his silver medal, he gained a promotion to Div 6. The step up should not phase him too much, as he has been there before - Robert was one of the club's junior stars in his youth.
Picture
Our juniors won both the Div 9 singles and doubles races. Jamie W clocked up an excellent time in K1, as did Oliver & Rupert in K2 - all three have been promoted to Division 8. Chairman Kevin was also drafted into the Div 9 doubles to partner Petr in a Canadian, where they earned valuable points with a 3rd place, and probably made Rupert's victory all the sweeter.
Picture
There were also good solid performances in Div 9 from novices Jack and James, who continue to improve.
Picture
Picture
Jacque & Dave added more silver medals to their collection, while Rich and David G both took third places on the long course.
In Geoff Sanders, both Benjamin and Sophie took gold medals in GSA and GSC respectively. Sophie especially deserves a big Well Done, having put in a massive effort to finish 3 sec ahead of a challenger from Norwich - both she and her rival have been promoted to Class B.

Overall, Norwich CC won the event with a near-perfect 599 points, and Chelmsford CC were second (587).  Crucially for BSCC, our total of 580 points was not quite enough to beat Buzzard's 584, putting us 4th.

Norwich's win has moved them up into the second in the Eastern Region league behind Chelmsford.

We are therefore now tied with Leighton Buzzard CC for third place - and only three Eastern clubs will be going to the finals this year.

Bedford Hasler (27 Apr 2025)

27/4/2025

 
Picture
Picture
Surprisingly warm weather for the Bedford Hasler, and a surprisingly good result for BSCC - our best of the season so far.
Karen & Christine won gold medals after battling hard throughout the Div 7 doubles race against a Cambridge crew. Karen & Christine have both been promoted to Div 6!

David G also had to fight for his Div 3 gold in a photo finish.
Picture
There was a good crop of silver medals. Joe & Eddie were second in Div 3 doubles; as was Joao in Div 4, despite having to stop and fix a malfunctioning rudder. Oleh came second with apparent ease in Div 5, in his first ever marathon, and has been promoted to Div 4.
Shehan paired up with Oliver to deliver some valuable points in Div 9 doubles, and yet more silver medals.
Picture
Picture
Bronzes were won by Rich (Div 2), Robert (Div 7), Kerry & Jamie (Div 6), and Jacque & Dave (Div 7)
Picture
Especially well done to our two competitors in Div 9. Zoe (6th) and James (8th) both had their points boosted by the first four finishers getting double promotions, and thus not scoring. Zoe has been promoted to Div 8, and James can be very proud of his performance in his first competition for the club.

Cambridge Hasler (30 Mar 2025)

30/3/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
The team of 26 who went to Cambridge this year was the largest BSCC had put out for any away event in over a year, and you would have to go back to 2018 to find a larger one.
Although the total attendance of 158 was lower than last year's 175, there were more paddlers competing from Eastern Region clubs than last year - the 2024 race included 30 out of region paddlers who are ignored for point-scoring purposes, whereas this year there were only a handful. The main Eastern Region clubs were all out in force, determined to ensure places at the national finals - perhaps spurred on by the shock of missing out on last year's finals (due to river conditions).
David G and Jasper successfully fought off a determined challenge by a mixed crew from Norwich/Falcon to win the Div 3 doubles race. Ben T & Rich must have been making good time when they were in the boat, as they were little more than seven minutes slower despite four capsizes.
Picture
Picture
Oliver & Jamie W proved to be a good pairing and secured another doubles win for BSCC.
Picture

Petr and Mark took the venerable C2 "Victoria" for a spin, and the grand old lady proved she has still got what it takes by carrying them to a 3rd place in Div 9.
There was a well-earned third place also for Karen & Christine in Div 7 K2.

Robert, who has been easing himself back into marathons after many years absence from racing by taking part in the 3-mile WS class over the winter, paddled in Div 7, where he slotted in very nicely.
Well done to Jack, who successfully completed his first Hasler race!

The final scores for the top three clubs at this race (Cambridge CC 596 points, Chelmsford CC 590, and Norwich CC 588) were all very similar to last year, so although BSCC's club score of 586 meant a 4th place at Cambridge, it represents a huge improvement over 2024, when Stortford was 5th with 467.
After two races we are now sitting in third place in the Eastern Region behind Chelmsford CC and Cambridge CC.

Chelmer Hasler (13 Oct 2024)

13/10/2024

0 Comments

 
BSCC had a cracking start to the 2025 Hasler season with a second place at the Chelmer Hasler.
There was a good turnout of 22 Stortford paddlers amongst the 155 competitors at this race. Building works caused the start to be moved from its usual position to under the A138 bridge.
David G and Joao each won third place trophies in their respective singles races.
There were particularly large numbers of singles paddlers in Divisions 7 and 9, resulting in split starts and the initial prospect of an unusually high number of automatic promotions and double promotions (though these have been subsequently moderated in the final results). Jamie has been promoted from Div 7 to Div 6, and Daniel who was also paddling in Div 7 must have  come very close.
Petr's decision to paddle up into Div 8 in his C1 paid off for him as it gave him a less overcrowded start line, and he finished with time to score points.

B. Stortford Hasler (2 Jun 2024)

2/6/2024

Although fielding a larger team than usual (24 paddlers), Stortford was still outnumbered by the teams from Chelmsford CC and Norwich CC, so it was particularly pleasing to score our second outright win of the season.

In singles, Daniel has been awarded a promotion to Division 7 (bronze Div 8). There were also particularly good performances from Kat (silver, Div 3 & fastest lady) and Jaroslav (bronze, Div 6).

Many of the club's medals and points came from the doubles entries. Joao & Ben formed a very successful partnership in Div 4, and Mark and Kerry T paddled to victory with partners from other clubs in Divs 5 and 6 respectively. Equally important in securing the club's overall win was the 1st place in Div 9 by Oliver and Kerry H - albeit uncontested.

Many thanks also to Cllr Murray White, Deputy Mayor of Bishops Stortford, for coming along to present the medals.
The club is now standing in third position within the Eastern Region, but with Leighton Buzzard's home race to come, this could still change.

One hundred and thirty five paddlers from six clubs contended the Norwich Hasler. Although Stortford sent only a small team (14 paddlers), the quality of the performances was excellent, and the team achieved a third place.
Gold medals were won by Joao & Jasper, and Karen & Christine. Jasper has been promoted two divisions to Div 4, and Karen & Christine have been promoted to Div 7.
Silver medals were awarded to Joe, Eddie & David G, and to Kerry T & Claudia. Eddie has been promoted to Div 3, and Kerry and Claudia to Div 6.

Bedford Hasler (28 Apr 2024)

There were some great results at Bedford, especially from our doubles crews.
Picture
Chris was competing for Stortford for probably the last time before he leaves us for pastures new. He and Ben pulled out all the stops to win gold in Division 4 Doubles, bringing to a close 9 years of racing for BSCC.
Joao partnering Charlotte Ellis (LBZ) was not far behind in the same race.  
Jasper, promoted to Div 6 following the Cambridge Hasler, had his first race on the 8-mile course with Kerstin in Div 5 doubles and came third.

On the longest course, David paired up with Eddie to take second place in Div 3 doubles. Meanwhile, on the 4-mile course, Karen & Christine took silver medals in Div 8, and Jacque & Dave bronze in Div 7. Christine has been promoted from Div 9 to Div 8.

Kerry T (Div 7) had the misfortune to fall victim to the gusty wind as the end of the race was in sight, causing her to go for a swim in the river.
Jamie B was the club's star paddler in the singles races. Despite a poor start he worked his way into 4th place and was poised to take 3rd when the lead paddler suffered a capsize. His excellent time earned him a bronze medal and a promotion to Division 8.

Cambridge Hasler (24 Mar 2024)

24/3/2024

 
Picture

The race was well-attended with a total of 175 entries. A particular feature was the large number of competitors representing out-of-region clubs, such as Nottingham, Wey and even Runcorn.
Well done to Kerstin & Catherine for not only executing a well-planned out race at admirable speed, but but also turning in the right place to win Div 5 doubles. A barely visible turn buoy caught out many people on this course, including nearly all the Div 4 doubles crews, who went much further than intended.
Libby & Jasper proved to be a very successful pairing, coming 2nd in Div 7 doubles, and being rewarded with a promotion to Division 6 each.

Our singles paddlers in Division 9 did especially well. Despite being placed 8th, 9th and 10th respectively (out of a large field of 16), Robin, Karen and Jamie B scored the points that usually go with 3rd, 4th and 5th place. This is because many of the paddlers ahead of them were given double or even triple promotions, and who therefore did not score. Robin and Karen have been promoted to Div 8, and Jamie can be proud of an excellent result for his first Hasler race.
There was also solid scoring from Joao, Jacque & Dave, and Eilidh, each of whom were racing in higher divisions than previously due to promotions during the Winter Series.
The spring sunshine had tempted the leisure boaters out and an unfortunate meeting with a punt sent Eddie for a swim and caused him to retire. Kerry & Tom also took a dip at the turn.

Brilliant results for Stortford at the Chelmsford Hasler. The 26-strong team (the largest the club has fielded in over a year) very nearly swept the board in the doubles classes by achieving a first and/or second place in six out of the seven contested divisions.

The nine first places and four second places, plus another second from David G in singles, brought the club a near-perfect score of 597 and overall victory, though Chelmsford CC  were just three points behind.
Libby & Isabel's win was particularly impressive, given that it was achieved with a broken footplate which came adrift soon after the start and partly immobilised the rudder.
Chris and Ben also had rudder trouble when they bashed the rear end of their boat during one of the portages. Fortunately they were able to pull it back into alignment without breaking it and make up the lost time.

Edit: Now that the results have been finalised, there are lots of promotions for our doubles crews. Rich joins Joe in Div 2, and Kerry joins Octavia in Div 7. Libby and Isabel go to Div 7, and Finlay & Oliver to Div 8. Well done everybody!
Eilidh's fourth place in Div 8 singles was only fractionally short of the promotion time. Jasper's 12th place in Div 9 singles was also especially notable, given his age and the large field of 31 entries.
