Cameron Girdlestone

In 2003, Cameron Girdlestone made the switch from cricket to rowing. Two years later he competed in the men’s four at the Junior World Championships in Germany. He contested the U23 World Championships in 2007 and then made his first senior team in 2014. At the first World Cup of that year in Sydney, Girdlestone took gold in the quad scull and silver in the pair and went on to compete in the quad scull at World Cup 3 and the 2014 World Championships.

Girdlestone is a PDHPE teacher at the Shore School, and enjoys working with the students in their academic and sporting endeavours. When racing, he likes to do a good solid warm up and then have a drink from his good luck water bottle.

In 2015 Girdlestone competed in the Men’s Quadruple Scull and won a silver medal at the World Rowing Championships in France and in 2016, he was named once again in the Men’s Quadruple Sculls.
