Six Clevedon Year 12 students traveled to Saltash, Plymouth, to represent Somerset in the National County Gig Rowing Championships.
The boys started their training in October and have been rowing every week in Bristol docks with their British Rowing coach.
It was amazing day with the Year 12 boys performing really well and exceeding all expectations. Despite this being their first ever competitive race and rowing against counties who can select from rowers from 30+ clubs and who have 4-5 years experience in regattas and races the crew came a highly commendable 3rd, only beaten by Cornwall and Devon.

An amazing effort and the boys gave it their all. Great experience and hopefully the first race of many. We'll done!
