Despite persistent rain, Bridgnorth travelled to Chester in force, with three learn-to-row graduate coxed-four crews competing for the first time, Josh Roberts competing in his first single-scull race and a masters men’s four storming to victory with Nicola Rushin debuting at cox alongside Rob Graham, Andy Lomas, Tim Grimsdale and Paul Wallis.

Club captain Lucy Warren said: “I am thrilled with what we’ve achieved. Bridgnorth Rowing Club is in fantastic shape. Not only are we regularly winning, but we now have a lot of new rowers coming through.

“Enthusiasm for rowing in Bridgnorth is huge at the moment.”
