Strong day for British crews at rowing World Cup

PETE Reed and Andrew Triggs Hodge led a charge of six semi-final wins for the British team at the rowing World Cup regatta in Munich.

In addition to the men's pair there were also wins for the men's four, double scull and quadruple scull plus the men's lightweight double sculls and four.

Elsehwhere, four other top three finishes, added to the boats that qualified from Friday's heats, means Great Britain now has a total of 15 Olympic class boats in Sunday's finals.

"It's been a strong performance across the squad," said performance director David Tanner.

"A good indicator has been our support boats making the A final in both pairs events.  With some good wins we can look forward a strong finals day."
