The gold medals were won by Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter in the lightweight men's double sculls and the men's coxless fours. Silver medals were claimed by the men's 8 and the womens's quadruple sculls with bronze medals coming in the women's and men's double sculls, crewed by Anna Bebington and Elise Laverick and Matt Wells and Steve Rowbotham respectively.
