Balmain Rowing Club beat 15 other clubs from across NSW to win the prestigious JB Sharp Memorial Regatta series.

Balmain’s rowers scored the greatest number of points during the five regattas of the annual winter competition which culminated at the Leichhardt Rowing Club on August 8.

“It was an impressive sight to see a field of 10 men’s eights contesting the finale to the series,” regatta convenor Terry Maher said.

“Balmain got away to an early lead in the point score however Mosman came home with a determined finish to nearly take them at the post.”
