ST Peter's School rowing eight might be studying hard for their exams, but this has not stopped them making waves this year.
The eight, made up of 15 and 16-year-olds Philip Walton, Ben Noble, Adam Peeroo, David Clark, James Bennett, James MacKenzie, Ranolph Harrison, Andrew Black and cox John Lewis, have enjoyed a phenomenal season.
Among their successes, the boys have captured both the Yorkshire Head of the River and the Durham City regatta titles, while at the National Schools' Regatta at Holmepierpoint, the eight wonders secured second spot over the 2,000m course.
