“They showed fantastic resilience, teamwork, and determination whilst competing against other fantastic teams, resulting in a photo finish for a win for the Sandymoor team.”

One of the talented rowers in the team was year eight pupil, Shelby Mills.

Shelby’s mum, Kirsty Griffin spoke of her pride at seeing the team steam through to the finish line.

“They have been practising for months through Sandymoor High school. I’m super proud of her, she has come out her comfort zone lately and is doing absolutely amazing and to win the competition is the Icing on the cake.

“So happy for her and her friends.”
