2010 PSA Head of the River
The 111th PSA Head of the River was conducted at Champion Lakes for the second time. This year’s Host School was Guildford Grammar Grammar School.
Trinity was successful both in the Head of the River and in five other events. With six of the 13 events won, they were also the successful school in the point score for the Hamer Cup.
The conditions proved to be ideal for rowing with a light southerly breeze persisting throughout all races. As a result, all events recorded record times. These perfect conditions have not been experienced for many years with great atmosphere and the best viewing platform for a larger than expected crowd in attendance.
Hamer Cup
The Hamer Cup is awarded to the school with the highest aggregate points across all events at the Head of the River regatta.
