The Army have dominated this year's Joint Services Rowing Regatta event in Reading which saw Battle Back launch their latest Adaptive Rowing Boat. Navy star Peter Reed is training full time with the British squad and this season he is practising hard ahead of the London Games. "Poppy" is the latest boat in their fleet and was paid for thanks to the fund raising efforts from members of the Royal British Legion. The new boat comes complete with subtle alterations from standard rigs. The Army dominated the races with victory in the men's eight for Dave Mans in the stroke seat and Sam Cooper in the bow and it means they head to the Henley Regatta next week in winning mood.
