WE WON !!
A massive well done to all that took part and a big cheer for all the friends and family who came down to support us.
CR Civil’s boat “Different Stokes” came in a fantastic 1st
Both teams did really well throughout the heats, both bagging a place in the semi- final. CR Different Stroke’s came in slightly quicker than the Stoke of Genius team in the semi’s to secure a place in the final 4. Gable events kept everyone in suspense after a photo finish, when the results were announced everyone were shouting and cheering.
Boat 2 CR’s Stokes of Genius came 6th, which still deserves an enormous round of applause.
We also as a company came in 1st for the amount of money we had raised for Rainbows so far via our Just Giving page.
Thank- you to everyone that took part, thanks to all that came down to support the lads, to Neil and his wife for supplying the food and lastly to Carl for allowing us to enter and ensuring that a great day was had by all.
