Port Adelaide Rowing Club

Congratulations to Wayne Severin, the winner of the 2009 Biglands and Doyle Trophy.  This annual Australia Day event, run by Rip Van Velsen, is a knockout series in which entrants are randomly put into crews beginning with eights and ending with a single scull.  Congratulations also to the runner-up, Alex Brook, a member of our senior women’s squad, for her strong and courageous performance in the final.  A great day was had by the large numbers of club members and their families who attended despite the heat.
