It’s done!
THANK YOU to the Stewards, staff and competitors that made this once again an excellent six days of tough racing, laughing, fun and friends.
No one does it better..
Very best of luck to OA E Peacock racing for Newcastle Uni in the Prince Albert semi final at @HenleyRegatta today
Do clap his crew out at around 9am if you are attending - Good luck Eddy! @oldabingdonians
Alas it wasn’t meant to be for the @abingdonrowing 1st VIII - a very competitive row against a super strong Bedford crew in the fastest PE time of the day by some margin. So proud of these boys: 100% home grown talent. Thank you to the boys, the coaches and all the supporters

@oldabingdonians@HenleyRegatta
Very tough first round @HenleyRegatta draw. But two things are certain: we will be there to cheer @abingdonrowing in our usual way and the boys will give it absolutely everything from start to finish 👏👏👏👏
@abingdonrowing@HenleyRegatta Unfortunately neither crew qualified, but super proud of the phenomenal effort from such young and talented oarsmen. Many more chances in the years to come. Well done boys @abingdonrowing
With less than an hour to go until qualifiers, we wish all crews racing good luck 🤞
