62 athletes selected to represent England at the Home International Regatta
Home International Regatta takes place on Saturday, 23 July at London Regatta Centre, London Docklands, England
For the first running of the event in 3 years, a total of 62 athletes from 21 different clubs have been selected to represent England at the Home International Regatta, the starting point for many on the journey to international representation. England’s junior team has 16 crews racing, with 18 crews racing for the senior team including two para-rowing classification boats.
This year saw a record 127 crews enter the trial across 55 Clubs racing for selection at the London Docklands. Both Junior and Senior crews were selected in some very close race offs. The England team for the first time includes two Para athletes, Georgia Jane Walker of Hartpury and Luke Payne of Sudbury, alongside our three returning athletes. Gemma King and Grace Johnson are both competing in their fourth regatta, and Ashley Cowley taking part in his seventh although this time solely in his role of Lead Coach for Seniors. I have no doubt that they will help to lead the team with their experience gained from previous events.
This year the competition will be more exciting than ever with the introduction of 500m sprint racing alongside the traditional 2,000m events. Ashley and Martin Gough, the Lead Coach for Juniors will be preparing the crews at their training bases between now and the regatta this weekend. I am extremely excited to see what this year’s team can do on the Docks and wish all other nations the best of luck during what is going to be an extremely competitive event.
