In the north a Club is chosen each year to host the event. Runcorn
Rowing Club came into prominence in 2004 when two scullers from
Runcorn won their event in both the north and south divisions,
leading to the Club hosting the Ball Cup for the first time in
2006.
This year schools from all over the north came to Runcorn to race
on the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the Runcorn reach of
the River Weaver, sustained by the excellent catering the club
is renowned for.
There was a good spirit of friendly rivalry and sportsmanship
which epitomised the original ethos of the Ball Cup.
Many of the finals were very close, right up to the last and most
exciting when Sir John Deane’s coxed quad beat Welbeck DSFC and
Runcorn.
The clubs were evenly matched, the overall winners of the Ball
Cup were Grange School, one point ahead of Sir John Deane’s College,
who were themselves only one point ahead of joint third: Queens
Park High School and Warrington.
A great day out for everyone!
