Ian Evans

Mosman Rowing Club (NSW)

Ian was a senior NSW and Mosman rower in 1920s and brother of Fred Evans.

Whilst we do not have much information on Ian, he was a member of Mosman Rowing Club by 1924 as he was selected into the NSW King's Cup crew in that year.

In 1926, he was selected into the NSW King's Cup crew but had to withdraw. He joined his brother Fred in the successful 1929 NSW King's Cup crew which was a wholly Mosman crew.

The 1920s were a great time for Mosman, dominating the senior rowing in NSW.

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.
