JIRR Trials 2025
The Junior Inter-Regional Trials (JIRR), held at the Leeds Boat House on April 22nd, provided an exciting opportunity for several members of the DRSA squad to compete against fellow Yorkshire rowers. These young athletes were driven by the aspiration to represent Yorkshire in the sky blue colours at the upcoming national competition in April.
The trials brought together some of the most promising young rowers in the region, each eager to showcase their skills and earn a coveted spot on the Yorkshire team. The event was a testament to the dedication and hard work of these athletes, who have trained tirelessly for the chance to compete at a higher level. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation and camaraderie, as participants pushed their limits and supported one another in pursuit of their shared goal.
