Mollymook U/19 Female Crew: GOLD  (17 year old girls competing in their 1st carnival)

.

Some great stories emerged from the NSW Country Surf Titles but perhaps nothing more inspirational than the four Mollymook teenagers rowing at their first carnival who out rowed crews more senior than themselves to claim GOLD in the Under 19 female boat race. The teenagers consist of Eliza Green, Mia Garin, Kyla Wall and Chloe Scott. They row under the super competent coach and mentor Marty Drysdale.

Another amazing story, their first ever race start and they must have rowed into the biggest waves on the day. As some greeted them later with the line ‘Welcome to surf boat rowing.’ This unlikely crew consists of  Aaron Owers, Ben Clayton, Simon Davies and Andrew Rushton with Marty Drysdale their effervescent sweep. They received a Bronze medal for their gallant efforts.
