Mosman members to represent Australia in surf boat rowing
Congratulations to MRC members Jordan Thurlow and Trent Rogers who, as part of a South Curl Curl SLSC crew, have won selection as Australian representatives in next year’s Trans-Tasman Surf Boat Series which, of course, will be against New Zealand. It’s an outstanding achievement for two family men with busy jobs to beat convincingly crews many years younger than they are.
