Hyne Cup

The Hyne Cup is a private race held each February between the eights of Weybridge RC and Walton RC. The cup itself was donated by the family of John Hyne, a Weybridge RC member who was killed in World War II.
Nowadays, all the clubs on the Shepperton to Sunbury reach - Weybridge RC, Walton RC, Weybridge Ladies ARC, Thames Valley Skiff Club, St George's College BC and University of Surrey BC - are also invited to race over the course in other crew boats.

It was originally a side-by-side race, but it is presently run as a Head race (time trial) rowed over 3300 metres downstream from Elmbridge Canoe Club to Elmbridge Leisure Centre.

The contested trophies are:-

•   Hyne Cup - fastest VIII from Walton or Weybridge
•   Murtough Cup - fastest Men's Senior 3 VIII from Walton or Weybridge
•   Allwork Cup - fastest Men's Novice VIII from any club on the reach
•   Henry Stebbing Cup - fastest Women's VIII from any club on the reach

Hosting of the event alternates between Walton RC and Weybridge RC. The date is agreed between the respective captains.

Weybridge RC will be hosts in 2008.
