Adelaide Rowing Club (SA)

1949 - Interstate Men's Eight Championship four seat - Fifth

The Adelaide Rowing Club history records that Tony only joined the Club in the 1948-49 season and was a promising oarsman. This was quite correct as he was selected into the SA King's Cup crew which raced at Murray Bridge in May 1949. He was joined in that crew by fellow Adelaide Rowing Club member Rex Wallman.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
