As mentioned below, one of the very sad aspects of lockdown 4 in Melbourne has been the inability of our under age team members to compete in Adelaide this weekend.

The consolation was a handicap event for our elite rowers at Carrum on 12th June combined with presentation of Australian uniforms. The highest progrostic time was recorded by the Women's under 23 four, well ahead of the men's under 23 four, followed closely by Jess Gallagher. The prognostic times for Kane Grant and Red Matthews were quite smart also.

The following images capture the event.
