Great first day at the Easter Regattas

Published Sat 16 Apr 2022

For those older members who thought that the country regattas are only in their memories, think again. With the success of the Rutherglen Regattas in January and the Easter regattas, country regattas are still with us.

Our club rowers have headed off to Wentworth and Mildura again for another year and again very successfully.

The Saturday results included wins in the men's A quad scull, men's A pair, men's A four, women's A quad, women's under 17 quad, men's A double. women's under 15 double, and mixed quad scull. A second place in the women's A pair was achieved. Great work Mercs.
