Romford pupils impress in southern finals

Royal Liberty School returned with medals from the South of England Indoor Rowing Championships at Oxford Brookes University on Sunday.

Competing against students from all over southern England, including several youngsters from rowing clubs, the Romford pupils produced some exceptional performances in an experienced field.

Seb Adams won silver in the J15 category, while Olegs Lascenko claimed bronze in the J16 race.

The duo then teamed up with Mark De Claro and Paul Stubbington to take silver in the J16 3,000 metre team race.

De Claro (10th), Stubbington (12th) and Tommy Easterbrook (11th) also performed well in their individual races.
