Sports Report: 8 March

A BIG weekend for the Radford Rowing Program

On Saturday, 4 March, Radford Rowing competed in the ACT Junior Rowing Championships, backed up with strong performances on Sunday, 5 March in the ACT Head of the Lake. Both regattas are significant for our rowers, coxes and coaches because everyone in the Paddler, Generator, Accelerator and Senior squads compete. It is also great preparation for the crews that will travel to Sydney to the NSW Head of River regattas in two weeks.

Congratulations to the following medallists.
