Strathclyde Park

Hosts England will be looking to retain their three Home International Regatta crowns, with a large team heading up to Strathclyde Country Park, in Glasgow, to compete against Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

England won the senior men’s, and both junior matches in Cardiff Bay in 2016, narrowly missing out on the clean sweep with a second place finish to Scotland in the senior women’s match.

76 rowers have been selected to represent England from 27 clubs across the country. The seniors will battle it out over 11 events, including Para-rowing for both men and women, while the juniors race in seven.

All racing takes place on Saturday, 22 July, at Strathclyde Park, which is offering free admission to spectators, so why not go down and cheer on the rowers as they race for Home Nations glory?
