The quartet of Richard Chambers, James Lindsay-Fynn, James Clarke and Paul Mattick became the first World Cup winners in the men's lightweight four.

And there was also a gold medal in the women's quadruple scull thanks to the efforts of Katherine Grainger, Debbie Flood, Fran Houghton and Annie Vernon who picked up the overall trophy in the event as a result of gold here and in Linz and silver in Amsterdam.

Britain backed its headline-makers today with three silvers and a bronze.

Single sculler Alan Campbell, double scullers Stephen Rowbotham and Matt Wells and the men's four were the silver-medallists while the lightweight men's double of Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter took bronze.

"We'll go to the world championships with a degree of confidence after this season," said David Tanner, Great Britain performance director at the end of racing.

"Without doubt this has been our best team result ever across the world cup series with all three of our three disciplines - women, men and lightweights - winning gold in at least one world cup.

"Of course, medals are harder and harder to achieve but we have some good chances and we'll need to keep our minds also on the key Olympic qualification slots for Beijing which will be decided in Munich in August."
