A rowing crew from Pembrokeshire bagged a win in a race in London.

The group from Fishguard and Goodwick Jemima Rowing Club triumphed in the over-60s category at the Great River Race on the Thames.

The annual event, held on September 21, saw 270 boats race from Canary Wharf to Richmond, covering a distance of 21.6 miles.

The Fishguard team, consisting of Mike Hughes, Derek Miles, Len Murrow, and Candy Tamsett, usually compete in Celtic Longboats within the Welsh Sea Rowing League and non-league races.

For this race, they opted for a Boston Whitehall skiff named Margaret, built 40 years ago by Mr Hughes' father, Brian Hughes, a former lifeboat coxswain.

Mr Miles, who was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer last year, showed determination to compete in the race despite undergoing radiotherapy and receiving ongoing treatment.

The crew, with a combined age of 250, showcased their rowing prowess in the rough waters of the River Thames.

Their participation also carried a deeper meaning, as they rowed in support of Prostate Cymru, a primarily voluntary group committed to raising awareness and funds to combat prostate cancer in Wales.
