Top effort Old Collegians! Lest we forget.

21.01.2022 In these dry rowing times when river rowing doesn't exist and ergo sessions abound, we thought we should head back down memory lane to last years 'Head of the Yarra' and look in awe at our White and Green BBC Old Collegian Eights racing in Open D! This was our fourth Head of the Yarra. Many more to come. If you are thinking about getting back in the boat or just want to get fit using the rowing ergo as your weapon of choice- do shout out and let us know!

11.01.2022 FB posts have been few & far between over the past couple of months but fear not, the club has been very active. 2020 was a great year for the OCRC and we certainly rose above the Covid difficulties with our erg challenge and we took advantage of all racing that was on offer. Here is a belated review of our 2020.

We chased hard for the final 5kms and just came up short catching Grammarians. TRC swamped too. Let's call that unfinished business......
