Battles Bridge Results

Sharks Win more Gold

For the fourth consecutive year, The Sharks have sent a small team over to the Battles Bridge race in Essex, and for the fourth consecutive year we have brought back trophies.

The Race is on the estuary of the River Crouch and the paddlers race in towards land with the tide.

In the boys under 16 class, Sharks took top three places, with newcomer Yahiem Keely finishing the 6 mile course in 71 minutes and 21 seconds, second place was 10-year-old Johan Kukkohovi in a time of 67:57 and winning was Joel Gunnery in a time of 66:39.

For the fourth year running Grant Underwood won the Lord Renton Cup, being the first paddler back in a time of 46:00.

No ladies from The Sharks this year 🙁 meaning we did not win the Lady Renton cup like we did last year.

Who is up for next year’s race and The Sharks making a clean sweep of everything?
