When: Saturday the 31st March 2007 9am-12pm
Where: Canning Bridge course
This is the biggest sporting event on the PSA calender and no one can argue otherwise with crowds last year at 17 000 they are expecting 20 000+ with 3 schools in contention to win the ultimate race of a rowers life. 8 months of pain has gone into this season. With the early starts and sarcrifises made by all its no wonder to understand why there is so much anticipation on the result. For alot of the 1st VIII this is the moment they have been waiting for since year 8.
The favourites for the 1st VIII race this year are
1st Trinity - jump out of the blocks and finish strong (won 3 races)
2nd WESLEY - poor starts and come home with a bang (won 2 of the 7 regattas)
3rd Christchurch - went to nationals woopie do. not really in the same league as Wesley and Trinity
4th,5th,6th -....... Anyone except guildford
7th - Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (sheep noises)
The other big race is the 10A VIII race. This is the future 1st VIII race. Two crews a stand out this year
Scotch and Trinity
with Hale, Aquinas, CCGS, Wesley, GGS making up the other places
But with the results of late the favourites will be
1. Scotch
2. Trinity
3.Wesley/Hale
5.CCGS
6. Aquinas
7. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This race will be almost as good as the 1st VIII race with how close the finish will be.
So if next saturday morning you dont have anything to do. then why not be apart of THE BIGGEST sporting event in any school sport. + there is free food
