2018 PSA Head of the River
The PSA Head of the River Regatta was conducted on17th March 2018
Over 5,000 spectators visited the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre and were certainly entertained by an exciting finale in the First VIII’s. The PSA head of the River Regatta was hosted by Hale School.
The weather conditions in the morning for much of the year 9 to year 12 races battled against windy conditions. The Year 10A Eights race didn’t let the weather conditions get the better of them with a thrilling finish between Scotch School and Guildford Grammar School. Though the Scotch School raised their intensity in the last 250 metres, Guildford Grammar School were able to sustain their lead to win the race. Only 0.65 seconds separated the two crews.
The wind decreased slightly for the main competition ‘in one of the most open fields for many years’.

It was an extremely close encounter between Trinity College, Hale School and Christ Church Grammar School, with only half a boat length between the boats in the first 1000M. However, the in form crew of Hale School (winning PSA Regatta Five last weekend by two boat lengths), did not collapse under pressure and ended Hale School’s 18-year drought to win the Challenge Cup. It was even more of a landmark occasion with only less than a second behind Trinity College’s record of 5:48.2, set in 2010. Hale School rowing coach T. Widdicombe when speaking to The West Australian newspaper described the trust in his crew, “As they came to the 1km mark and were sitting level with Trinity, I felt pretty confident.” And when asked about the potential breaking record, “It was a nice tail wind, but it was probably a bit too rough. A handful of strokes got bumped around, it probably cost us the record.”
The finish was very close
It was an impressive display of determination from Christ Church Grammar School to pass a tiring Trinity College in the last 500 metres of the race. The first three positions were as followed; Hale School (5:48.83), Christchurch Grammar School (5:52.13) and Trinity College (5:57.61).
