Crock threat to ‘Two in a row’

A crucial member of Clydes Silver Rudder squad has been declared unfit to row. The nature of Karl Farmers sculling induced injuries are unclear, but not thought to be immediately life threatening. At the 11th hour, James Murphy has stepped into the breach as supersub. It is not clear how the inclusion of the Irishman will affect this tight-knit crew.

“Sculling, I tell you it will be the end of us all before we know it!! Need to go away and psyche myself for battle!!”

 Saint Andrew have also suffered casualties from their stealth crew. A female rower, known only as ‘Von F’ has had to withdraw. It is not known who will replace her. Who could!?

All eyes are on Castle Semple Regatta. The final draw has now been released, showing the doubling-up and sometimes trebling-up for members of both clubs competing in this prestigious event. The frequeny of racing - some might call it ‘fixture congestion’ - has led to the clubs appealing to SARA, FISA and the UN to extend the regatta for another month and a half. But the reality is that Semple is such a great regatta everyone just wants to race untill they melt!
