Great Britain team for annual J16 GB v France match announced

The 2018 J16 GB v France match will take place in Vaires-sur-Marne, near Paris, on Thursday 12 July

Fifty-one junior athletes will compete for Great Britain in the annual J16 match against France, to be held in Vaires-sur-Marne, near Paris, on Thursday, 12 July.

GB regained their overall title in 2017, winning by eight points to five, giving them victory in six of the past seven events. France won last time the regatta was held on their home water in 2016.

This marks the 38th time that GB’s Juniors have faced off against their French counterparts – a fixture that has seen many rowers winning their first GB vests over the years.

The two nations will face off in 13 races, starting at 10am local time with the women’s eight.
