The Club entered two quads in the Fawley Cup; the first was officially a composite Walton/Molesey crew al-though all were long-standing Walton members. It com-prised Sam Lee-Gill, Angus Groom, James Wedlake and Matt Tatlock; this crew was selected but suffered a crab and hit the booms in its first race.

The second, all-Walton crew comprised Alex Jones, Sam Knight, Oliver Tomalin and Nick Clarke—on average just over 16 years old on the day of the race. In horrible weather and racing conditions the Friday before the re-gatta, they were one of 8 crews out of 25 to qualify, but on the Thursday, despite a steady and mature perform-ance, went out to Maidenhead RC.
