After suffering disappointment at the gruelling GB final trials where
Nick Friend (PBS), Will Geffen (MGHM) and Denis Zaboronsky (NCWS) just
missed out on places at the Coupe, Will and Nick stayed on in
Nottingham to try their luck in the Junior Coxless Pairs event in the
National Rowing Championships last weekend. Despite fatigue and the
lack of time to prepare the pair came together well under the guidance
of HGCC. On Saturday the pair sailed through their eliminator
comfortably while at the same time recording the fastest times to both
the 1000m and 1500m marks. However, last year a pair of Will and Ben
De Jäger (Coll) performed a similar feet in their eliminator and yet
only managed fourth in the final. Fortunately it was a different story
this time round with Nick and Will winning Sunday's final by an
impressive margin of 9 seconds. The pair now go on to represent
England in the Home Nations Championships in Cardiff this weekend.
