Tees novice sculler Rob Cree finished 51st overall and was first in the novice single sculls category, claiming several more notable senior and experienced scalps. Dilwyn Jones, enjoying a successful series in this competition, finished first in his veteran C category. Rebekah Warburton was the winner in the women's J16 single sculls event. Peter Mackfaul and Gary Bettinson, who have enjoyed a successful series of races, were again clear winners in the veteran C double sculls, once again proving too powerful for their rivals from Tees, Bob Bainbridge and Paul Reevell, who were second. Sarah Harker found the opposition tough on the day but still managed a creditable 64th overall position and fourth in the women's senior 4 single sculls. Dick Wilkinson and Mike Fallaize could not repeat their success of last week but secured third place in the men's novice double sculls. John Harrison continues to improve, coming second in the senior 4 single sculls. Tees women's veteran C coxless quad of Deborah Ashurst, Janet Wilkinson, Victoria Laing with Liz Leigh at stroke were second, finding the fast finishing Durham ARC quad too quick on the day.
