It is the third year running that GB has won the event, which provided the first taste of international competition for many of the current senior squad including Jess Eddie and Nathaniel Reilly-O’Donnell.ADVERT The overall match result of 10-3 to Britain – including five wins apiece for both the boys and girls – matched last year’s winning score in Nantes. Team Manager CD Riches said: “The Great Britain team once again rose to the occasion in challenging head-wind conditions and had many fine, convincing wins. “The match was followed by an impressive ‘Entente Cordiale’ dragon boat racing event, with both international teams mixed up to produce six crews of 17 paddlers. There was more fine racing and much improved language skills. “The Royal Albert Docks again proved to be an ideal venue for the International match.” The Entente Trophy, awarded by choice of the event jury, went to the French junior women’s pair. The annual team match, held alternately in the UK and France, is a club-based event and provides a good target for clubs and schools to put crews together. RESULTS AND WINNING TIMES JM1x 1.
