The College is very proud of our Men's and Women's Rowing Teams, who did exceptionally well in the 15th CUHK Rowing Championships on 5 and 6 January 2019. The prizes they won were as follows:

Women's Single Sculls (W1x)—1st runner-up
Women's Double Sculls (W2x)—1st runner-up
Women's Coxed Eight (W8+)—3rd runner-up
Men's Coxed Eight (M8+)—2nd runner-up
Women's Overall Champion—1st runner-up

The rowing teams fought hard amidst cheers by Prof Kenneth YOUNG, Dr Robert NG, College PE Coordinator, Ms Melody LEE, College Secretary, College office staff as well as fellow students and alumni.

The College is really impressed by the performance of the two teams. Apart from winning medals, they demonstrated the exemplary spirit and values that the College hopes to cultivate in its students—sportsmanship, perseverance, strong sense of togetherness and camaraderie. This time, the Men's Rowing Team could even recruit enough members to form a Coxed Eight team, a first for the Team.

The College thanks the rowing teams for their time and efforts, and hopes to see more new faces in the Championships next year!
