Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) ES has just left for Nottingham to compete in the trials to go to the Anglo-French rowing match in Valenciennes. If they are successful tomorrow, they leave for France on Thursday and come home on Mon or Tues. Then back down to Nottingham for the National Championships on Friday. I'm feeling nervous for him already . We should hear by 5pm tomorrow if they've got through. Edited July 20, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 So disappointed for them . They didn't get through . The coach says the English teams have all been racing in lots of competitions whereas our boys just don't have the chance up in Scotland. They won all their events at the Scottish Championships but tbh there isn't the same amount of competition up here as there is in England. Never mind, they're staying down till Saturday to train for the National Championships next weekend so fingers crossed they'll do well there.

MedusA Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Oh, what a shame! The coach's comments sound valid, unfortunately. I wish him the best of luck for the Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks everyone - we are very proud of him . It was a long way to go for a 7 minute race but worth it for a gold medal .
