EVESHAM Rowing Club's Ali Gregory has qualified to compete at this week's Henley Royal Regatta.

He is taking part in the Fawley Challenge Cup as part of a coxless quad with three rowers from Reading RC.

Gregory and his crew took part in qualifying races last Friday when 28 junior men's crews were vying for eight places decided on fastest times over the Henley course.

"If we make the final that would be brilliant," Gregory said. "But just to row at Henley is a fantastic experience and we're aiming to get through two or three rounds."
