2019 PSA Head of the River

The 120th Head of the River took place on Saturday 23rd March, 2019 at Champion Lakes. The regatta was hosted by Scotch College. 

The winner of the Challenge Cup was Christ Church Grammar School (C.C.G.S.) first VIII. The race was a memorable win for C.C.G.S. by overcoming their competitors by a staggering 9.32 seconds. The commentator described the accomplishment when crossing the line, “most professional performance in many years”. The head rowing coach at C.C.G.S., Mr J. Forbes quoted on C.C.G.S. school’s website, “The boys were very keen to win the final race of the year after such a fantastic season.”
