Kayaking triumphs for Archie and Will

September 27, 2018

Huge congratulations to Will & Archie who have had a very successful Summer of kayaking.

Both boys were selected for the Pan Celtic Championships at Holme Pierre Pont, & unexpectedly the Welsh teams won both the Junior 14 & Junior 12 events. This was particularly pleasing as they were competing against English teams composed of boys who were older, with more experience & much further up the National rankings than the Welsh teams.

To follow this up; Will has been selected for the Welsh Talent squad, which will offer more intensive training in a squad of 12 paddlers ranging in age from 13 to 17 and Archie won the Junior (12 & 13 year olds) Welsh Championships at Bala.

Archie’s next stop is the British Championships where he is hoping to defend his age group title.

Well done boys, and good luck in future events!
