Mercantile v Bewdley – Wyfold | Henley 2018 Day 2
Mercantile put on a very dominant display against some previous Henley winners from Bewdley.
Very early lead to Mercantile by the Island and then settled for the paddle home.
Some entertaining commentary at 3.10 about Mitchell Hooper in the 3 seat who had a ‘brother’ (cousin) racing for Cambridge. Mitchell is apparently working as blacksmith on a beef farm. Not sure how he fits in time to study at Monash.
Great win for Mercantile today.
Mercantile v Strathclyde Park – Wyfold | Henley 2018 Day 1
The Mercantile four competing in the Wyfold Cup are:
- Stroke – Angus Maloney
- Three – Mitchell Hooper
- Two – Jack Kelly
- Bow – Ben Canham
The four raced superbly today to easily win their first round. They flew off the start and settled down well many, many lengths in front.
The “Rowing Dynasty” discussion at 3.50 by the commentators is very generous to Dr. Hooper and the family. Much appreciated.
