The Homestead Knockout Regatta that took place over the weekend of the 9/10 October 2021 was significant for a number of reasons. In addition to getting the season underway and the first regatta that some of the oarsmen had participated in, it was also the inaugural regatta for Damascus.

Jeppe oarsmen came to the regatta straight from their October camp with many of the crew selections taking place in the week. Looking at the results, it’s clear that the coaches have done a great job in selecting the crews and seat positions. The 1^st 8 crew were no exception and the newly formed crew delivered. 

After a convincing win against St Johns in the heats the 1^st 8 went through to the finals where they came second being narrowly beaten by St Benedict’s.

Jeppe Rowing looks to be well placed for a remarkable season and we look forward to supporting them.
