1992 BSRA Head of the River

The 1992 BSRA Head of the River was conducted on Saturday 12th September 1992 on the Milton Reach of the Brisbane River. 

Below is an article from the Sunday Mail written the day after the regatta.

“Brisbane State High School ended a great season in fine style when they took out their first open eights at the Brisbane Schoolgirls’ Head of the River rowing regatta yesterday. State High have won all 18 races leading up to the season’s highlight. They gave their opposition little mercy in the blustery conditions on the Milton Reach of the Brisbane River.

Grummitt [the State High coach] rated the regatta the biggest he has seen in the past 10 years. While State High won the most events each of the major schools won at least one race. “The crowd is a good sign of how the sport is progressing,” Grummitt said. “It’s fantastic to see so much support for the girls. I believe the girls in some of the lower age groups are rowing a lot better than the guys.”

The Race Described

“After a slow start, State High were taken on by Somerville House for the first 2000 Metres. They edged about a length in front at the 500m and with about 250m to go, amid the cheers of the 3500-strong crowd lining the banks, careered away for a comfortable win. Their margin at the end of the 1500m was about three boat lengths from Somerville with All Hallows a close third.

All Hallows made up a lot of ground over the later stages. They were locked in a close battle with St Margaret’s at the halfway mark but finished well clear of the at the line. State High coached Chris Grummitt was full of praise for the girls and will now set them for the state titles in five weeks.

“They’ve done a fantastic job to win all their races,” Grummitt said. “There was a long of pressure on them today and that was probably the worry going into the race. I just tried to settle them down through the week and get their minds on the job. They knew what they had to do and they didn’t have to find anything special on the day. The ability has always been there.”

Grummitt rated the regatta the biggest he has seen in the past 10 years.”
