Two Victorian Surf Boat Crews Win National Titles

 

 

Torquay Surf Life Saving Club rowers have dominated at the 2016 Team Navy Australian Surf Rowers League Open held at Shell Harbour in NSW last weekend.

 

The Torquay Thunder men’s crew won the Open Title in a strongly contested field.

 

Congratulations to rowers Nick Phelps, James Marburg, Michael Love and Josh Nalder, as well as sweep/coach Scott Tannahill.

 

The Torquay Lightning women’s open crew represented Australia in the Trans-Tasman trophy and convincingly won all three races against NZ.

 

Congratulations to the crew of Jess Kelleher, Sophie Robson, Sonia Heath and Sylvie Withers, also swept by Scott Tannahill.

 

To cap off a great weekend for the club, the under 19 men’s crew made the final in their division.

 

Victorian Surf Rowers League President Matt Culka said it was an impressive performance by Victorian crews throughout the event.

 

``The Mordialloc Ecoli men’s crew made their first ever Reserve grand final at a national event and won the Masters 160 years combined division title,’’ Mr Culka said.

 

``In the masters section three Victorian crews collected bronze medals.

 

``It was strong rowing in challenging surf conditions.’’
