Rowing

Please see our Fixtures list below, or follow the links on the left for Latest News, and other Rowing information.

The Royal Shrewsbury School Boat Club (RSSBC) is no more than a decent stone's throw from the school itself.  The school's location, high on the banks of the Severn, is the envy of rowing schools across the country, as is a recently built indoor rowing tank set into the river bank.  Salopians are able to make use of these facilities all year round: many boys, especially from their second or third year upwards, make rowing their major sport for all three terms; others enjoy the sport at house level, either in regular competitions throughout the Michaelmas and summer terms, or in "bumps", the Oxbridge-style house bumping races which provide the climax to the summer term.

Girls' Rowing at Shrewsbury School continues to grow since the first girls joined our new coeducational Sixth Form in 2008. We now have two crews regularly rowing and competing. With a win at Agecroft Head, for our UVI crew, the new dynamic of a squad system is establishing healthy competition for seats. See Girls' Rowing for more details.

The OId Salopians' rowing club, 'Sabrina', is a thriving section and hugely supportive, not only in helping to fund the equipment and facilities for our rowers, but also by attending and supporting our crews when they compete across the country.  Please see the Sabrina page for more information.

Any forthcoming Rowing fixtures for the current term will be displayed below.
