    The St Andrew’s College 1st four rowing side were selected to represent the Eastern Cape at the South African National Selection Trials which took place at Roodeplaat Dam in Pretoria recently.

    The purpose of the trials was to select crews to represent South Africa at the Junior World Championships in the Czech Republic in August.

    The St Andrew’s College 1st four rowing side were selected to represent the Eastern Cape at the South African National Selection Trials which took place at Roodeplaat Dam in Pretoria recently.

    The purpose of the trials was to select crews to represent South Africa at the Junior World Championships in the Czech Republic in August.

    The four St Andrew’s pupils raced in four events, placing second in three and third once, with only a strong heavyweight composite crew from Gauteng proving themselves stronger on Saturday and Sunday.

    These performances put the St Andrew’s first four in contention to be one of the crews to race at the World  Championships in August.

    Being the only crew at the national trials having all rowers from the same school, the St Andrew’s pupils produced some outstanding racing, including a six minute 36 second time in their second race over 2 000 metres on the Saturday, three seconds faster than the six minutes 39 second time which won them the SA Schools Championship title in February this year.
