Rowing: Kiwis keep firm grasp on Goblets
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Pete Reed and Andy Hodge took a drubbing from the New Zealand world champions Eric Murray and Hamish Bond in the coxless pairs at Henley yesterday.
The duo went ahead in a blustery head wind before the Kiwis tore away near the halfway point to "easily" defend the Silver Goblets successfully. The score between these pairs is now nine to nil.
Reed and Hodge now have just five days to prepare for the World Cup regatta in Lucerne.
The British quad got the edge over the Americans of Princeton Training Centre in the Queen Mother – the only success for the GB men's team.
Matt Wells and Marcus Bateman earned an ignominious "not rowed out" verdict, paddling home behind Cedric Berrest and Julien Bahain of France in the double sculls.
The women's quad blew New Zealand out of the water in the Princess Grace, but the women's eight went down by two lengths to the Canadians in the Remenham.
