Girl Power on the Rower
Those that took part were:
Oaklands
Stepney Green
Swanlea
Langdon Park
Sir John Cass
George Greens
St. Pauls Way
Central Foundation
Most schools brought a full complement of children from Year 7 to Year 11 with the Year 7s going head to head 2 mins up to the Year 11s sweating it out for 6 mins. All the races were hotly contested with most of them decided by a matter of milliseconds. The final relay really got the crowd going and Swanlea took the title in a close finish.
