Rowing

Adam Vine-Hall (ON 2005) has been selected to be the coach of the Australian Under 23 team Women’s Quad Scull, which will compete in the World Rowing U23 Championships in Varese, Italy.

The Sydney Rowing Club Under 23 Coxed Four just won their final at the Nationals. It contains 4 Newington Old Boys – Angus Bagby (ON 2012), Sam Hardy (ON 2013), Lachlan Hine (ON 2011) and Jesse Coyle (ON 2012).

Cricket

Saahil Parekh (11/MO) will join Jordan Gauci (11/FL) as a member of the Cricket NSW Under 17 Academy from 1 May – 30 November 2014.

Saahil’s selection is unsurprising given his outstanding efforts for St George DCC in the 2013-14 AW Green Shield competition together with his sustained high quality performances with Newington across the summer.
