ROWING: Chester crews collected their share of medals at the Autumn Head on Saturday.

Agecroft women's squad also showed strength in numbers winning both the senior two and senior four eights races.
Dee-based crews performed well, including Royal Chester who won the veteran eights, novice sculls (Ditchfield) and senior three sculls, and The King's School added to the medal tally winning the senior three quadruple sculls (men's, women's and J16 events).
Andy Turner, of Grosvenor, proved to be the fastest sculler of the day and their coxless four of Fussey, Betteridge, Hudson and Hill won the senior two category.
