The London Youth Games were held at Crystal Palace on the 30th June and the 1st July 2007. Indoor Rowing was included as an official points scoring event, where nearly 300 youngsters representing 28 Boroughs raced both individually and in relay format for the winner’s trophy.

London Youth Rowing and Concept2 ran the very successful event. Simon Larkin and Keith Atkinson added technical and moral support to Matt Rostron and the enthusiastic, hard working LYR team.

Overall winners were Greenwich followed by Richmond upon Thames, Corporation of London and Redbridge. Greenwich have recently purchased several new indoor rowers and are being coached by Globe Rowing Club, they are a force to be reckoned with.
