| Members of Folkestone Rowing Club travelled to the prestigious Eton Rowing Club at Dorney Lake for the South Coast Championships on 7 September. This is the climax of the season for rowers from three different associations - West of England, Hants & Dorset and the Coast Amateur Rowing Association of which Folkestone is a member. After nearly a year of continuous training, Folkestone's already crowned Coastal Veterans Champions rowed the race of their lives. After a slow start they found themselves steadily moving up the field. And with only 500m left, Folkestone moved into the lead over Greenbank Falmouth and BTC. Everyone held their breath as BTC mounted a strong late challenge but the stamina and strength of the Folkestone crew achieved through their training regime paid off as they edged ahead to win by half a length. This is Simon & Matt's third veterans' title and Tim and Steve's second. | |||
