The victorious Musaeus rowing team
Come rain or sun the gritty lasses of Musaeus College rowed to glory to beat Ladies College in an one sided affair to win the 15th Ladies-Musaeus annual Regatta encounter 48-4 at the Colombo Rowing Club waters last weekend.
Musaeus College completely out rowed the Flower Road lasses as they won Eight events out of the ten events that were worked off. Two new records were established this year in the ‘C’ Four event by Ladies College with a timing of 3.55mts-the only sigh of relief for Ladies. Musaeus College with a time of 3.58mts lowered the previous record in the ‘B’ Double Scull event.
