SACS Rowing Results

by Richard Found, SACS Teacher in charge of Rowing

   SACS winning the 2000m 1st Eights race

This weekend saw SACS and the other Western Cape schools attend the SA School Rowing Championships at Roodeplaat in Pretoria. This event is the finale of the rowing season and sees over 30 different schools from across South Africa and Zimbabwe compete in all the main rowing classes.

SACS entered the championships with an excellent season all ready behind them. With all age groups gaining medals at the Buffalo and Selbourne regatta’s held last month. However with all the Gauteng schools competing it was going to be a greater challenge to repeat this on the national stage.

Notable results for SACS over the 3 day event included Ryan Delaney gaining 5th place in the A final of the U15 Sculls and the U16 pair, stroked by Mathew Whitehead, just missing out on a medal coming 4th in their A final. The first medal however came when Chris Bobbert, the club captain, and Leo Davies cruised to victory in the open Pairs. The clubs first gold medal at this event.

   SACS 1st Eights and winners' trophy

The stage was now set for the last race, of the last day of this three day regatta. That of the open boys 1st eight race. SACS had easily progressed to the final coming second in their heat and expectations within the club was high. The crews lined up for the start, a crack on thunder was heard in the distance and the race was started. Several thousand people lined the dam watching the crews come thundering down the course and SACS were seen to be out in front by half a length. Over the last 500m St Andrews started to pull back on the SACS crew however they had left it too late. By quarter of a boat length the SACS crew crossed the line and won their second gold of the regatta. It was also, their second gold ever at this regatta and the first time that a Western Cape school had ever won the 1st eight race.

This remarkable achievement was crafted and engineered by the SACS Head Coach Brendan Gliddon who has shown that the minos from Cape Town can beat the rest and show that Western Cape Rowing is alive and kicking.

The SACS 1st eight are:
Chris Bobbert (Captain)
Mathew Shaw (Stroke)
Dean McGowan
Leo Davies
Stephen Binedell (Vice Captain)
Nick Loydell
Chris Gough
Justin Warner
Michael Moir (Cox)
Coach – Brendan Gliddon
