Five New Zealand crews have booked spots in tomorrow's finals at the Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames in Great Britain. In the head-to-head format, eight Kiwi boats contested seven races on semifinals day, with Matt Dunham upsetting Olympic silver medallist Cameron Girdlestone of Australia to progress in the Diamond Challenge Sculls. John Storey and Chris Harris took a classy win in the men's double sculls, setting them up for the final of the Double Sculls Challenge Cup. Gowler and Prendergast will line up against Olympians Megan Kalmoe and Tracy Eisser of the USA in tomorrow's final. The men's eight were forced out of contention for the Grand Challenge Cup, after coming up short against the German national crew.
