Win No1 came in the Men's Junior Sculls , ash Cahill putting on a strong performance to win & being pushed all the way to the line by Doug Holderway in the other Bexhill scull finishing 2nd, Phil McCorry came home to finish 5th.
Win No2 went again to Mark Mitchell in the Mens Senior Sculls. Such is Mark's dominance he was clearly ahead of the field just 500 mtres into the 200 m race. Club mate Kieran Cahill finished 3rd being just edged out by a rival sculler from Herne Bay. Club Captain Andy Bickers rounded off the points haul by taking the last point on offer in 6th place.
Bexhill's senior Ladies crew of Holly Makin, Rachel Cripps, rachel Garland, Jemma Cropper coxed by Jes Campbell had a good row and finished in 2nd position in just their 2nd race together.
Jemma Cropper had her first race this year in the Ladies Single Sculls. Jemma showed really well early on actually leading the race but with conditions not ideal for sculling had to concede the lead on the return leg eventually crossing the line in 2nd place, a promising start to her sculling career.
Bexhill had 2 men's seniour 4 crews in the final but such was the fierce competition 2nd & 6th were the best they could achieve. The A crew of Mark Mitchell, Doug Holderway, Matt Hellier, Kieran Cahill & cox Jes Cambell lead till just before the 1/2 way turns but could not find the rhythm or sea conditions to keep their place. The B crew of Phil McCorry, Joe Pellett, Ash Cahill, Andy Bickers & Cox Yaz Page despite never having rowed together had a good race long battle with a vastly more experienced Folkestone crew but eventually couldn't advance past 6th place.
The Men's Junior 4 of Ash Sutton, Dan Renner, Matt Richard and James Copper had an amazing row to finish 2nd! They may have won but for conceding to Deal in avoiding a collision. A great result considering it was only their 2nd row together. In the Ladies Junior 4's Bexhill was forced to put out a hastily assembled crew due to absence whilst the holiday season is on. rebecca Dawes, Eloise Hunt, hannah Ruddock and Yaz page started well keeping the leading crews in their reach. Amazingly on the return leg Bexhill were just half a boat length down on Championship leaders eastbourne and kept the crowd roaring encouragement right up to the line narrowly beaten into 2nd. This was an amazing result and with 8 more regattas to go the chance of another championship victory gives the trainers and captain something to think about before next weekend.
In the Men's Senior Pairs Mark & Matt Mitchell were early leaders but disaster struck on the way to the turns when a nagging back injury to Matt forced them to retire. Kieran Cahill and Matt Hellier pushed hard to take up the race for Bexhill finnishing 3rd. Phil & Nick McCorry came in 5th with Andy Bickers & Darren Mitchell just out of the points in 7th.

SOUTH COAST ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS PLYMOUTH SEPT 12th 13th
Bexhill Rowing Club travelled to Plymouth Devon for the 52nd Championships and 3rd Junior regatta. Races were being run in river boats so a lot of hard work has gone into preparing all the crews for the switch. The biggest trophy in Coastal rowing, the Bideford bowl was won by Bexhill for the 3rd time. It is raced by the six fastest senior men’s coxed fours on the South Coast of England. Bexhill’s crew of Mark Mitchell (bow), Doug Holderway, Matt Hellier, Kieran Cahill (stroke) and cox Jess Campbell got off to a good start despite being drawn the most unfavourable lane but soon were pulling ahead. They kept increasing their lead all the way through the race and were three boat lengths ahead as they crossed the line.
The junior ladies crew of Eloise Hunt (bow), Emma-Jane Hunt, Hannah Ruddock, Vinny Hourihane (stroke) and cox vice captain Phil McCorry provided a pleasant surprise by winning the open Junior Ladies coxed fours for the first time in Bexhill’s history. Despite the confusion on the start line of whether the race was a heat or just a straight final and a restart Bexhill powered off the start and as the senior men destroyed the field by three boat lengths.
All the other crews Bexhill entered had some fantastic results. The open men’s junior fours crew of Ash Sutton (bow), James Copper, Dan Renner, Matt Richard (stroke) and cox club captain Andy Bickers finished third in a close fought race that could have gone either way till the last 500 meters.
The men’s novice four of Alex Pepper (bow), Tony Page, Phil Hunt, Greg Anderson (stroke) and cox Andy Bickers finished fourth after making the final.
Despite two of their crew members suffering injuries and illness Bexhill’s senior ladies were selected to represent the Coast Amateur Rowing association in the Championship race. With two replacements Yaz Page (bow), Jess Campbell, Holly Makin and Rachel Garland (stroke) had a good row and finished fifth which was a great result having only come together that day to race.
The men’s open senior crew of Phil McCorry (bow), Nick McCorry, Ian Allen, Ash Cahill (stroke) and cox Rachel Garland finished in 5th place in the final.

Bexhill College and St. Richards Bexhill rowing club were able to send a large contingent of young rowers ranging from fourteen to seventeen for the 3rd South Coast junior regatta.

Although no outright wins were recorded three second places and a third were achieved after limited training in the narrower river boats.
Alex Pepper and Greg Anderson finished second in the Junior 14 double scull. Alex and Greg then teamed up with James Copper and Ash Sutton to finish second again in the Junior 16 coxed four.
The other second place went to the Junior ladies quad scull. Megan Milarski (bow), Angharad Morgan, Yaz Page and Brogan Carpenter (stroke).
In his first ever single sculls race (junior 16) James Copper qualified for the final and finished in third place, keeping some very experienced youngster honest the whole race.
Bexhill had two entries in the junior ladies 14 double sculls. Angharad Morgan and Brogan Carpenter just getting the better over Alex Hunt and Megan Milarski with 4th and 6th places respectively.
Finally there were two fifth place finishes for both the junior ladies 16 quad sculls and 18 coxed four. Both races were rowed by Lauren Moyse (bow), Sophia Green, Yaz Page, Vinny Hourihane (stroke).
club captain Andy Bickers said “I’m extremely proud of what a small club like Bexhill has achieved. We were the only club from our rowing association to win at the championships. There are a lot of people in the club that are ensuring this success continues with the number of junior rowers coming through.”

Herne Bay and Eastbourne regatta reports 30/08/08 & 31/08/08
The last two coastal rowing regattas of 2008 were held last weekend, with Herne Bay Kent Saturday and Eastbourne Sunday. Both days provided choppy conditions and a total of 7 wins 6 seconds. This was enough for Bexhill to again clinch the Association Grand Aggregate (Total wins) and League (Total points).
The first win at Herne Bay was courtesy of the Ladies Novice four. Arabella MacDonald, Emma-Jane Hunt, Eloise Hunt, Vinny Hourihane and cox Jess Campbell won commandingly, never being lead the whole race.

Twin sisters Emma-Jane and Eloise Hunt had an excellent if eventful race in the Ladies Senior Pairs. They tangled with a Herne Bay crew just before the line but such was the direction they collided that they went over the line sideways but ahead in third place.
Men’s Junior Senior four of Phil Hunt, Tony Page, James Copper and Ian Allen produced another good results with a third considering half of the crew was made up of novices and the other half juniors. The same crew but with Tony Page replacing Hunt finished fourth in the junior fours event.

Moving on to Eastbourne the results continued.
The first and most important win of the day was in the men’s senior pairs. Bexhill were 4-3 up with just this race to go. Mark Mitchell and Kieran Cahill Had to work hard to gain a lead to the turns but pulled a 3 boat length lead on the way back and just sat on second place. This was enough to retain the championship. Nick and Phil McCorry finished in fourth with Matt Hellier and Ian Allen in sixth.
Matt Hellier won his first Novice sculls race. He was never lead over the whole race, club mate Dan Renner finished third and Nick McCorry fourth.
Mark Mitchell rounded off the season with his seventh win in the Men’s senior sculls, but had one of his toughest battles to date. The seventh fasted sculler in the Great Britain rowing squad was on the water. They
were neck and neck at the turns but Mark showed what a great champion he was by pulling two lengths clear to remain unbeaten this year. Ash Cahill finished third with Chris Doswell in fifth.
Bexhill demonstrated it growing junior squad by entering two crews in the junior under 16 quad sculls. The A crew of Megan Milarski, Anghard Morgan, Yaz Page and Brogan Carpenter won the event with the B crew of Lauren Moyse, Liam Midwinter, Alex Hunt and Alex Pepper finishing an excellent second.
Both the novice men and novice ladies had great results finishing second in their respective events. Ladies were Megan Milarski, Angharad Morgan, Yaz Page and Brogan Carpenter and in the men’s Ian Allen, Matt Richard, Phil Hunt and Alex Pepper.
Ash Cahill was aiming to finish his championship season with a win in the men’s junior sculls but was up against the same opponent as Mitchell raced earlier. But rowing against what is in effect a professional rower proved too much of a challenge and he had to settle for second. He was backed up by Phil McCorry who finished third.

The last points of the day came in the ladies senior pairs with a fifth place for Hannah Ruddock and Eloise Hunt.
Bexhill Rowing Club – Darmouth Royal Regatta 28/08/2008.
Bexhill Rowing Club along with over 20 rowers travelled down to Dartmouth in Devon for the annual Royal Regatta. Although not part of the normal coastal rowing season, the championships on the 13th in Plymouth are being raced in finer river boats so extra race experience is crucial.
The results were stunning, 6 race wins, 5 second places, 1 third place and the sculling aggregate trophy left the west of England rowing clubs reeling.
A big win was recorded in the Men’s Senior A final, which is an indicator to the crucial Bideford bowl race at the championships. Three crews from this race including Bexhill are in the Bowl race, so Bexhill’s win by over three boat lengths gave the competition something to think about. Mark Mitchell, Doug Holderway, Matt Hellier, Kieran Cahill and cox Jes Campbell have been working hard the last 2 months and it bodes well for next week. The second crew of Phil & Nick McCorry, Ian Allen, Ash Cahill & cox Rachel Garland finished 5th.
These two crews combined with cox Jes Campbell won the prestigious men’s eights by two lengths despite not having rowed together before the start. Rivals from Falmouth and Dartmouth could not compete from the very start and Bexhill had their lead by the 1000 meter mark and even the local commentator was impressed by the rowing performance.
Win number three went to the Ladies Novice four of Yaz Page, Emma-Jane Hunt, Hannah Ruddock and Vinny Hourihane by two boat lengths. Again this crew was made up on the day but the shear strength in numbers that Bexhill has in its junior section along with the fierce competition means that the rowing standard is high and allows good interchange ability.
Next up it was the turn of the men’s novice four of Tony Page, Matt Richard, Dan Renner and Jim Dixon. They demolished the field by starting well and pulling clear at the half way point to win easily.
In the men’s senior pairs Bexhill had two boats entered. Kieran Cahill and Matt Hellier had their third win of the day and kept the winning going by domination the field with brothers Phil and Nick McCorry coming home third.
Mark Mitchell also scored his third win by taking the men’s senior A sculls from a very quick local sculler who was expecting to win. Mark obviously following on from his domination in coastal sculling proved he was easily a match from anyone along the south coast of England.
Second places were scored in the following events:
Men’s senior B sculls – Ash Cahill
Men’s senior C sculls – Dough Holderway
Men’s novice sculls – Nick McCorry
Mixed Senior A fours – Hannah Ruddock, Rachel Garland, Ian Allen, Doug Holderway
Mixed Senior C fours – Hannah Ruddock, Emma-Jane Hunt, Chris Doswell, Andy Bickers
Other results:
Men’s veteran coxed fours 4th – Andy Bickers, Steve Bickers, Chris Doswell, and Glen Payne
Mixed Senior C fours 4th – Yaz Page, Vinny Hourihane, Steve Bickers and Glen Payne
Bexhill now go to Plymouth in Devon this Friday and Saturday to compete against the whole of the south coast, in the South Coast Junior regatta (Friday 12th) and main South Coast Championships (Saturday 13th).
Brighton & Hove Rowing Regatta Saturday 7th June 2008. CARA crews gathered at Hove for the 1st Coastal Rowing Association regatta of the 2008 season. With 35 rowers, many of them new novice’s the nerves were showing after the dominance of last year. But soon the previous seasons form was starting to be repeated. 6 wins, 3 seconds, 4 thirds, 3 aggregate trophies and many points scoring places confirmed Bexhill are again the club to beat. Win number one came in the Men’s Senior pairs, where Mark & Matt Mitchell came home first despite a nagging back injury to Matt. Close behind in third place were Kieran Cahill & Matt Hellier. Next up was junior sculls with Ash Cahill dominating to finish 6 boat lengths ahead for his maiden junior win. He was backed up with a fine third for Phil McCorry Win 3 came from the Men’s novice fours of Jasper Beutick, Tony Page, Ash Sutton, James Copper & cox Jess Campbell. They now only need one more win to put them up to junior status. Win 4 went again to Mark Mitchell. Despite early pressure from club mate Kieran Cahill Mark took victory, Kieran finished close behind in second. The next win came courtesy of Nick McCorry who score his first ever sculling win in the Men’s novice sculls. He lead from start to finish and was never challenged finishing over five boat lengths in front. One more win is required to move him up to junior sculls. The sixth and final race win came in the men’s senior fours, but this time it was a one two finish. A collision at the turns had halted the first attempt so all rowers prepared to race again. The A crew of Mark Mitchell, Doug Holderway, Matt Hellier, Matt Mitchell & cox Jess Campbell lead off the start and kept it that way winning by 6 boat lengths over the Bexhill B crew of Phil McCorry, Nick McCorry, Ash Cahill, Kieran Cahill & cox Yaz Page. This was Bexhill’s best result in senior fours for many years and shows the strength in depth of the senior rowers. With the novice rowers becoming more proficient Club Captain Andy Bickers had entered two boats in the men’s junior pairs. It paid off with a surprising but magnificent second place for James Copper and Dan Renner. The Mens Junior fours also threw up a surprise result. The crew of Phil Hunt, Dan Renner, Jasper Beutick, Alex Pepper & cox Andy Bickers finished third, but not before the rudder strings becoming untied soon after the start. With a quick stop to retie they were off but now in last place. But by halfway they had made their way to fifth position. They made up another two place before the finish line and were over the moon at such a comeback. Bexhill had twelve novice ladies to fill three boats in both the Ladies Novice and Junior fours. In each of the events the results were the same. In fourth were Sophie White, Sophia Green, Hannah Ruddock & Vinnie Hourihane, Sixth were Megan Milarski, Angharad Morgan, Brogan Carpenter & Yaz Page and in eighth were Alex Hunt, Lucy Sangster, Eloise Hunt & Emma Jane Hunt. Bexhill also had a Quad junior 16 boats out for the first time. This race is for youngsters to learn to scull in a more stable boat and still be able to race. The mixed crew of Alex Pepper, Yaz Page, James Copper & Sophia Green and they finished in third. The Veteran four of Bob Balchin, Paul Dawes, Graham Dawes & Glen Payne had a tough battle with a Herne Bay crew and came in fifth.
