HYNE CUP

The 2025 Hyne Cup ran over two divisions on Sunday, 9th of March – results are posted here

​

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 member of Weybridge Rowing Club and Sergeant of the RAF Volunteer Reserve who, at just 20 years of age, was killed in World War II, on June 23rd, 1945.

​

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.

​
