HRR 2024 Finals Race Reports
As the mud dries and the boat bays clear on another incredible Henley Royal Regatta, we look back on everything achieved by our squad last week.
From the 24 Leander crews racing this regatta, six crews progressed onto Finals day and came away with wins in four events: The Prince of Wales Challenge Cup, The Queen Mother Challenge Cup, The Double Sculls Challenge Cup and The Visitors Challenge Cup.
