ON Sunday Tamar and Tavy Gig Club won the Ladies Super Vets Championships at Saltash Regatta adding another trophy to the clubs cabinet.

The ladies gave their all and rowed a brilliant race. Their total commitment showed when, after a shaky start, they pulled through the whole pack and held lead position for most of the race.

Defending champions, Dart who have won this championship for the last two years, were on their tail all the way but T and T cox, Carolyn Dawe, asked for more and the team responded, pulling away from Dart and were able to raise their oars aloft in victory on the finishing line. The crew were Jo Cameron, Ruth Walker, Julie Eastaugh, Lyn Renton, Viv Barnes and Julie Rendle, who should all feel really proud of this incredible achievement.

The club also sent three other crews to the regatta. T and T's men's super veterans team which included three rowers who had rowed to the Eddystone Lighthouse only last week; the ladies veterans got through the first heat to finish second in the plate semi-final while the U16s team won through to the final where they were sixth overall and beat a team from Caradon who always put out top crews.

The U16s were Megan Haynes-Parry rowing stroke, Caitlin Haynes-Parry, Amber Friendship, Charlie Fethney, George Masters and Rosie Lloyd with coxes Bill Stacey-Norris and Paula Haynes-Parry.

This was a great regatta for Tamar and Tavy.
