Rowing Australia’s Club of the Year, Swan River Rowing Club have risen to become a quality programme on the national stage. With excellent coaches and strong performances in Western Australia, this crew has travelled far and will be ready to take on the challenge. A mix of talent as young as U17, the entire crew is U21 but should make this crew punchy and aggressive, as any underdog crew would be.
Prediction
As per all club events at nationals, the men’s coxless four forbids anyone with a history of national or junior team representation, as well as those who have or do train at one of the National Training Centres, from taking part. This makes the club men’s four a hotly contested event with a wide array of talent and training regimes but undoubtedly high-quality racing.

UTS, with their top-class U21 boat, will be hard to beat despite numerous crews with good prospects. Sydney will make this a very tight race and will definitely present multiple challenges for the gold medal, and perhaps even multiple podiums, but ultimately UTS will make sure to split the club men’s sweep events and upset SRC’s dominance.
Like most entries here, UTS Haberfield have also chosen to break up their club men’s eight to create a threatening four with great talent and backed by exceptional coaching pedigree. A crew made up of U21 talent that will race in an incredible number of events at these nationals, the UTS combination will be well versed in the Lake Barrington course come the club men’s four A-final, but I believe this will help them more than hurt them through fatigue.

With three crews entered, Sydney Rowing Club will no doubt look to add to their points score tally in an event where they will look to get multiple crews on the podium. Breaking up their club men’s eights to form these crews, the third listed crew of Hennessy, Mirow, Quinn, and Anderson looks to be their most potent. Sydney’s strong sweep pedigree at all levels of men’s rowing in Australia bodes well for this group, having trained amongst and with the very best in the large Sydney men’s squad.
