​

The Hyne Cup is a private match held around mid-February between the Eights of Weybridge Rowing Club (WEY) and Walton Rowing Club (WLT). The cup itself was donated by the family of John Hyne, a WEY member who was killed in World War II.

​

Nowadays, all the clubs on the Shepperton to Sunbury reach are invited to race over the course in crew boats: WEY, WLT, Weybridge Ladies Amateur Rowing Club (WEL), Weyfarers Rowing Club (WEF), Thames Valley Skiff Club (TVS), St George's College Boat Club (SGC), and Cranmore School.

​

It was originally a side-by-side race, but it is presently run as a 'head' race or time trial, rowed over 3000 metres downstream from Elmbridge Canoe Club to Miskins Wharf, just above Walton RC.

​

            THE CONTESTED TROPHIES

​

  • Hyne Cup - the fastest Eight from Walton or Weybridge, on raw time.

​

  • Murtough Cup - repurposed: in previous years, this cup went to the fastest Men's 'IM3' Eight from any club on the reach; now it goes to the fastest Women's Eight where all crew members learned to row after March 1st, 2019 (WEHoRR's updated definition for 'Beginner').

​

  • Allwork Cup - repurposed: previously, the fastest Men's 'Novice' Eight from any club on the reach; now the fastest Open Eight where all crew members learned to row after March 1st, 2019 (again borrowing from WEHoRR).

​

  • Robyn Mercer Trophy - the fastest Women Masters crew, on handicap
