The sun glinted off the calm waters of Holme Pierrepont last weekend as young rowers from 16 regions competed in Nottingham at the British Rowing Junior Inter-Regional Regatta (JIRR).

The Scotland region fielded a squad of 70 athletes from eight Scottish clubs, contesting 26 of the regatta’s 30 events. Their efforts were rewarded with a total of 202 points, securing 10th place overall in what proved to be a fiercely competitive regatta. Competition was particularly strong this year following the division of the Thames Upper Region into three separate regions, increasing the number of the country’s top junior athletes on the start line.
