THE 2007 season certainly got off to a good start for two Berwick Amateur Rowing Club members, Alison Inglis and Hilary Cairns.
The River Ouse at York was the venue for the Yorkshire Head of the River Race, which was held on Saturday, March 17.
There were over 170 entries from all over England for the 5100 metre race, with competitors racing in eights, quads, fours, doubles, pairs and singles.
Conditions were not good with a strong wind increasing throughout the morning but fortunately blowing down the course.
Alison and Hilary competed in the women's senior 3 double sculls. They had an excellent race and the hard winter training was all worthwhile. With a good rate and excellent course steered, they completed the course in 21.02 minutes, but lost out on a category win by 20 seconds to the home crew from York City Rowing Club.
