The second weekend of racing in 2026 took us back to the Tyne for Tyne Head of the River hosted on Valentines Day by Tyne Amateur Rowing Club.
Division 1 saw the Women’s coxed four taking the event win against University and College opposition. Their squad mates were also the fastest of the WMasBF doubles on raw time but were pipped to the win on adjusted times. The J15 girls were also the faster of two in their event.
A second pot came in division 2 with the Senior Women’s 8+ winning the band 2 eight. There was also a display of strength in depth from the J15 boys squad with two quads taking second and sixth places.
