Keiran Cahill came second in the junior sculls, a position repeated by Glen Payne and Holdaway in the double sculls.

The next race saw Mark Mitchell row effortlessly to win the senior sculls with Andy Bickers fourth. Mitchell then teamed up with brother Matt to win their eighth senior pairs race of the year.

The Mitchells also joined forces with Nick Woolgar, Cahill and cox Callum Payne to win the premier event of the day, the men's senior fours, to give Mark Mitchell his third senior win of the day, a feat never before accomplished by a Bexhill rower.
