In a hard-fought race in the quarter finals of the Fawley Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta, the first Malvern Quad, consisting of Matt McManus, Carter Lindborg, Mike Rawlings, and Robin Prendes from Miami Rowing Club, lost by two and a half boat lengths to the Windsor Boys’ School ‘A’ Quad. Malvern was within one-half of a boat length the whole race until the end when Windsor pulled out for the lead. “Everybody rowed great, Windsor was just able to stay ahead,” said head coach Craig Hoffman. “I’m proud of our men that rowed here. They’re an exceptional group that rowed their hearts out.” Congratulations to the Malvern rowing team, they’ve had an amazing season and successfully competed against some of the best teams in the country and the world.
