Good luck at Henley this weekend!

This weekend, six members of The King’s School Chester Senior Girls squad will be joining forces with three members of The Grange School BC and have entered The Peabody Cup for Junior Women’s Eights at the 30th Anniversary Henley Women’s Regatta which will take place on the world-famous Henley stretch of the River Thames between Friday 16th June 2017 and Sunday 18th June 2017.

The King’s girls are : 

Charlotte Cross (U6), Millie Medland (L6), Jessica Proctor-Crozier (L6), Natasha Groome (L6), Isabel Beardwood (L6) and Amelia Standing (L6)

The Grange girls are :

Henley Women’s Regatta is a highly-prestigious event in the rowing calendar attracting rowers from all over the world including many national rowing teams and athletes.

The Peabody Cup is awarded to the fastest Junior Women’s Eight of the regatta and this year ten crews (including two crews from the USA) will compete in a knockout format over a very busy weekend of racing. 

The 2017 draw also includes the Gold and Silver medal-winning Championship Eights from the recent National Schools Regatta as well as two further crews that contested the A final at that same regatta so the competition is of the very highest calibre.

The King’s/Grange crew will race Headington School (Oxford) at 11:52am on Saturday morning and we wish them every success for a great race! You can watch the race on YouTube
