Molesworth rowers do us proud

TWO Molesworth-based althetes have won silver medals at the world rowing championships being contested in New Zealand. New Norfolk Rowing Club members Kate Hornsey and Anthony Edwards both finished second in their respective events on Lake Karapiro.

Hornsey won her medal on Friday in the women's four A final and Edwards won his in the lightweight men's four A final yesterday. The Mercury has more on Kate's race here and Anthony's here.

    Thanks for posting the excellent results of the two rowers - both Anthony and Kate are as you mentioned Molesworth residents and also New Norfolk Rowing Club members. The final day of rowing saw another NNRC member Kerry Hore gain a silver with partner Victorian Kim Crow in the women's double scull. Pity the Mercury photo had the names of the rowers completely incorrect - Todd Skipworth (WA) was in stroke seat, then Tassie rowers Blair T, Sam Beltz and Anthony Edwards in bow. All-in-all the 8 Tasmanian rowers who represented Australia each won a world championship silver medal. Two for first-timer Blair Tunevitsch of Launceston who was a last minute fill-in in the mens lightweight eight! Pretty excellent results.
