A closely-fought Championship Final held at Radley on Sunday 8th February, under the watchful eye of coach (and former World Champion) Chris Ronaldson, saw Fifth-formers Freddie White (g) and Oliver Martyn-Hemphill (f) overcome a strong Canford pair – coming back from 2-5 down to triumph 8-5 in the Under-Sixteen National Schools Doubles Championship. The Remove pairing of Benedict Yorston (b) and Ned Gordon (c) brought home further success, comfortably beating Eton 6-0 for the third place and already looking strong contenders for next year’s final.
From the London Rowing Club report on the Masters Racing in Monaco in February: The following race had two LRC masters double sculls, former Commonwealth Champions Jonty Williamson and Marcus Williams reuniting to take on Adrian Theed and Stewart Harries. A hectic start saw Theed and Harries eventually emerge at the front with a French double from La Seyne. These two doubles exchanged the lead no less than eight times with rarely more than a length and a half between the two boats until a simply sublime line steered around the penultimate buoy (it just had to be said!) gave Theed and Harries command of the race and a winning run home…
On Sunday 1st March Luke Danby (1984) and Conor Medlow became 2015 Amateur Doubles Champions. In the final they fought back from a set down to win 5/6 6/5 6/2 6/4. Luke lost to his partner Medlow in the singles semi-final.

Donald Legget (1956) was part of the Cambridge coaching team for the 48th year (he started in 1968); Nick Holland (1973) rowed in the victorious Oxford Veterans crew which defeated Cambridge by two and three quarter lengths – the race was from above Hammersmith Bridge to the Boat Race start; Robert Clegg (1984) umpired the Isis Goldie Race; David Searle (1969) continues as an Executive Director of The Boat Race Company Ltd., the organisation that stages the Boat Race; Miles Morland (1957) supported the Oxford Lightweight Women (below) – the members of the crew would otherwise have had to pay all their expenses for travel, training, kit and accommodation.
