Round Trondra Rowing race
Posted: Sunday, 26 August 2007 |
The second Round Trondra Rowing race took place on 17 August, to finish off the season. Apart that is from the prizegiving to take place at Quarff Hall in September.
This race was a charity race, in aid of Shetland Aid Trust.
Two races, a women's race, three boats taking part, and a men's race where four boats were rowed.
Teams were mixed up - a so called hat race - names drawn not from a hat, but in this case a plastic bucket.
Women's race was won by the Trondra Yoal, Whiteness & Weisdale second and Burra third. The men's race was won by Burra with Lerwick second, Trondra third and Bigton fourth. Some closely fought battles, particularly between Lerwick and Trondra in the men's race. A good end to the season, despite all being a bit damp by the end of the race. Soup and sandwich's eagerly consumed at the Trondra Hall afterwards.
A few photos taken from Diamondbigdog's boat, and at presentation in hall.

Jepp, congrats Ardnort. Would have liked to have been there, but sadly had other stuff on.
