THE Oratory School rowers won the Ball Cup at Dorney Lake recently.

The coxed four, which consisted of Will Daniel, Brandon Archer, Ben Anidjah, Louis Kibble and cox Henry Stone, set the course record, winning the event by more than seven seconds.

In the double sculls event, Harry Kibble and Joseph Staples beat some well established pairs to come third in their semi final.

Harry’s brother, Louis, teamed up with Matt Mackay to race in the J18 doubles event, where they secured the bronze medal.

The U16 coxless quad of Sam Machin, Matt Mackay, Edward Tritton and Joseph Anidjah rowed well in blustery conditions to win the silver medal.

The Under 14 and U15 coxed squads raced well and narrowly missed out on podium positions, but gained invaluable experience for later in the season.
