THE Mount Kelly crews performed well in the Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race over Easter and were all on target to achieve extraordinary times.

Unfortunately, following recent weather conditions, the strength of the current at Reading was considered unsafe and the race officials stopped the event 70 miles short of Westminster Bridge. The teams were hugely disappointed but determined to be back next year. The team now progresses - alongside last year’s Mount Kelly crews - to the South West sprint championships, where they hope to retain the silverware won last year.
