It was success all the way for the Evesham-based Old Wrecks indoor rowing squad when the Nottinghamshire Indoor Rowing Championships were held at Newark Rowing Club.

All five who took part won their respective categories.

Tim Wright won the men's 30-39 in an exciting dead-heat finish with a time of 6:27.1.

Evesham's Helen Barnett came first in the women's 30-39 in 7:25.2.

Maria Scotland consolidated her work in the women's 40-49, producing a personal best time of 7:54.7.

World champion Anna Bailey of Hanley Swan was suffering from a lower back strain, but even after a slow and careful paddle, still managed to win the women's 50-59 class in 7:58.9, and the later 500m race in 1:42.9.

Worcester's Janet Parker finished strongly in the 50-59 lightweight class, with an improved time of 8:07.3.

The season's Grand Prix series gets under way on Sunday with the Portsmouth Grand Prix.
