Pairs Head of the River 2026

WinTech crews produced a strong set of results at the 2026 Pairs Head, with five outright wins and a series of further podium finishes spread across the women's sweep, sculling, junior and masters categories. The results ranged from junior girls' sculling to masters women's adaptive, once again reflecting WinTech as the choice of champions.
 
The women's sweep events were particularly productive. E. Fowlds and B. Hughes of Bath University won the women's senior coxless pair, and E. Poole and C. Adams, also of Bath University, finished third in the women's championship coxless pair, catapulting two Bath WinTech pairs onto the podium in the two most prestigious female sweep categories. In the women's J18 coxless pair, M. Tans and S. Maddocks of St Paul's Girls' School finished second, and Y. Vavrovsky and A. Dasgupta, also of St Paul's Girls', third, representing a WinTech 2-3 in the junior girls' pair.
