2019 NZ Masters Championships, Lake Ruataniwha
14 & 15 September, Lake Ruataniwha
For the first time in 11 years, it was beautiful weather and conditions on both days at Lake
Ruataniwha! It must know we are trying to change the time of year of this regatta!
The competition at the top continues to be strong if not stronger, as more rowers return to
the sport. A heartfelt congratulations to Kirsty, Dom and Stuart for winning Golds in their
singles. It was equally rewarding to see our Masters rowers, some as recent as this year’s
Learn to Row completers come up through the ranks and medal.
These combined efforts of our experienced and newer rowers allowed us to bring home the
Union Rowing Club Trophy, which is awarded to the most successful club at the NZ Masters
Championships. The trophy is awarded to the club with the highest aggregate points from
first, second and third placings at Masters Nationals, with composite crews ineligible. Union
last won in 2017. At this year’s nationals, we won with a massive 138 points – 54 points
clear of second placed club Aramoho.
