Intercol sport so far in 2025 has been a thrilling ride. The Rosebowl Rowing Team have retained the cup in a race dominated by the St Paul’s Crew in the last 100m on 9 April at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith. The team of Harry Scambler (coach), Greta Bourne (coach), Bow: Grace Merrilees, 2: Ella Ramsay, 3: Grace Anderson, 4: Anya Koturanova, 5: Grace Charge, 6: Libby Carey, 7: Jaime Lock, Stroke: Frankie Richards, and Cox: Bridget Pye went stroke for stroke against a powerful St Andrew’s crew beating them by 3.7 seconds with a time of 7:15.1.

For the Rawson team disappointment after five years of back-to-back triumphs in the Rowing surrendering the ‘bronze pot’ to St John’s who beat our crew by 4.2 seconds. Great effort from the team of John Kenny (coach), Gus Gregg (coach), Bow: Tom Wait, 2: Jack Dawson, 3: Noah Mattani, 4: Luka Mattani, 5: Ethan Henderson, 6: Hunter Hyde, 7: Matt Young, 8: Iwo Ellis, Cox: Will Chang and Reserve: Piers Mendel.
