Team Keane joins Tyrian

Posted on Friday 4 May 2012 by Andrew Hale

We are delighted to introduce Paul Keane and his coaching organization Team Keane.

Paul has been running rowing courses for all standards for the last three years, for both juniors and adults. He has successfully developed links with clubs, schools and local groups. As part of his expansion, we (Tyrian) are to become host club for his coaching organization.

Paul Keane has offered to develop our groups further by incorporating his groups into Tyrian Club, creating the expansion of the club and allowing its future to become financially stable.

Paul currently runs 5 groups on a Saturday and other sessions in the week. There are approximately 70 people and all standards are catered for. Our training times have been updated as have many of the other pages on this website, with more clarity filtering into the site over the next few days . For those that have completed their Learn To Row course (Novice/Intermediate) you may like to contact Paul to discuss with him which group you would like to join.

The major advantage is that there will be a greater core of rowers with which members can all join to progress their rowing enjoyment during and after your Learn To Row course. Additionally members will benefit from a larger fleet of boats and a diverse team of coaches.

Andy is aware of the new arrangement and will continue to coach the current LTR course and then source his coaching employment through Paul, whilst continuing to fulfill some administrative and developmental duties for Tyrian.

Novices kick-off regatta season..

Posted on Saturday 28 April 2012 by Andrew Hale

Today saw the first Tyrian regatta entry of the season take to the water in the Borne At Chiswick Bridge Regatta. D. Marsden and S. Wachholz competed in the NOV.2x category, though were unfortunately knocked out of the competition by a very able crew from Parr’s Priory. Members of LSE RC were impressed with the duo stating that the runners up can definitely hold their heads up high having sculled with “good technique and style”. This sentiment backed up by Tyrian’s Head Coach, Andy Hale, who commented that “the first race of the season is always a tricky one loaded with nervous anticipation, this was also their first race together. The gents showed much promise for the rest of the season bringing their training into a well-rounded scull, showing much improvement in the aspects we’ve been working on in training”.

Next weekend will see the same two gentlemen competing at Chiswick Amateur Regatta on the Saturday (05/05/2012), this time in single sculls. On the Sunday (06/05/2012), Tyrian’s own P. Luttick and K. Clark will be competing at Wallingford Regatta (ML) in the IM1.2- category.

We wish all crews the very best and as ever look forward to proving that we’re a club full of predator sea snails!
