Hyne Cup

The Hyne Cup is a private race held each Spring between the eights of Weybridge RC and Walton RC. The cup itself was donated by the family of John Hyne, a Weybridge RC member who was killed in World War II.
Nowadays, all the clubs on the Shepperton to Sunbury reach - Weybridge RC, Walton RC, Weybridge Ladies ARC, Thames Valley Skiff Club, St George's College BC & Cranmore School - are invited to race over the course in crew boats.

It was originally a side-by-side race, but it is presently run as a 'head' race (time trial) rowed over 3300 metres downstream from Elmbridge Canoe Club to Little Tumbling Bay weir (adjacent to Elmbridge Leisure Centre); this is the Weybridge Silver Sculls course in reverse.

The contested trophies are:-

•   Hyne Cup - fastest VIII from Walton or Weybridge
•   Murtough Cup - fastest Men's IM3 VIII from any club on the reach
•   Allwork Cup - fastest Men's Novice VIII from any club on the reach
•   Henry Stebbing Cup - fastest Women's crew from any club on the reach (it is expected that Walton & Weybridge captains will agree on the boat type beforehand).

Hosting of the event alternates between Walton RC and Weybridge RC. The date is agreed between the respective captains; it is usually in February.

Weybridge RC were hosts in 2012. The date was Sunday 26th February, starting at 1100.
