Amazing end to the season for Poplar. Nine golds at Danson Dashes yesterday. 35 Poplar competitors, 25 events entered, 20 athletes went home with prizes. Bring on next year!
A tale of two regatta courses. One is the Royal Docks in east London where some of our scullers trained this morning. The other is the European Masters regatta course in Munich where seven Poplar scullers are competing this week!
