Rowing, Evening Gazette

 

There's more top watersports action on the Tees this weekend.

Tees Rowing Club is hosting two major rowing events on a 5000m course downstream from Bassleton woods to the Millennium Bridge in Stockton on Saturday .

In the morning, 250 crews will compete in the Tees Long Distance Sculling Race, organised jointly by the Northern Rowing Council and Tees RC. It is one of a six-race series being staged at venues throughout the North of England.

In the afternoon, Tees Small Boats Head of the River Tees will attract an entry of 125 crews in fours, quadruple sculls, pairs, double sculls and single sculls.

There are status categories for men and women of all boat classes in all ages from the 15 age group to the over 60s.

Prizes will be awarded for the overall fastest men's and women's crews.

The standard of sculling and rowing will be very high with some top class performances expected from athletes of international standard.

Good viewing can be had from Victoria Bridge, Endeavour Quay and the Millennium Bridge.
