Radford Rowing Shines at NSW Schoolgirls and Schoolboys Head of the River
Radford’s rowers and coxes showcased their strength, skill and determination at the 2025 NSW Schoolgirls and Schoolboys Head of the River Championships in Penrith last weekend, competing against the best school rowing programs from NSW and the ACT.
On International Women’s Day, our female athletes delivered a phenomenal performance at the Schoolgirls Head of the River, securing three podium finishes: 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze.
The momentum continued as our male crews battled sun and rain to deliver outstanding results at the Schoolboys Head of the River, coming home with 3 Gold, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze.
These results placed Radford College fourth overall and crowned us as the top ACT school at the Schoolboy Championships!
Well done also to our Paddler Girls and Boys squads for proudly representing Radford in their first interstate regatta.
Next up is the ACT Open Age Championships this weekend before our team of 30 rowers and coxes head to the Australian Championships in Tasmania!

First XI Cricket Team Premiers
Radford’s First XI impressed in their final against Marist College.
The First XI won the toss and elected to bat. Alex Wheeldon set the tone from the outset, taking 10 runs off the first over. More clean hitting followed in the next few overs before Alex was run out for 24 runs off 15 balls.
Raunit Singh and Aminda Weerasooriya then went to work compiling a 183-run partnership. The right-hand, left-hand combination made life difficult for the Marist bowlers as both batters targeted the short boundary. Raunit fell agonisingly close to his maiden century for the First XI when he was caught for 96 runs off 94 balls. Aminda fell short of replicating his century achievement from last season when he was caught on the boundary for 94 runs off 99 balls. Calad Woodburn (27 runs not out off 18 balls) and Cooper French (12 runs not out off 13 balls) then closed out the innings with some bold running and inventive stroke play. Radford College finished their 40 overs with an imposing score of 4 wickets for 272 runs.
Fergus Boorer (2 wickets for 12 runs off 4.5 overs) made the perfect start to the bowling innings, trapping the competition’s leading run-scoring LBW for a golden duck. Calad Woodburn executed a sharp runout and catch in the following overs, which gave Radford the perfect start. The spinners then went to work. Amber Smith finished her prolific career in the Radford First XI in style with 3 wickets for 22 runs off 8 overs. Archie Selmes (2 wickets for 18 runs off 7 overs) took a few key wickets, and Vihaan Vikramadithyan (1 wicket for 15 runs off 5 overs) was as miserly as ever. Marist College were all out for 115.
A special mention goes to the Year 12 students who played their last game for the First XI. Captain Luke Davis, Ishaan Khan, Amber Smith and Raunit Singh have all played key roles in the success of the First XI in recent years.
