BRONZE FOR BRITS IN GDANSK

GREAT Britain secured a highly creditable third place in Saturday’s European Under-19 Pairs Final at Gdansk.

Ipswich and Eastbourne star Drew Kemp was in outstanding form on his home Polish track, winning five of his six races to score 15 points.

Anders Rowe and reserve Dan Gilkes contributed 4+1 and 2 respectively as GB finished on 21 points, seven adrift of winners Latvia and level with the hosts.

That meant a run-off for second place, in which Mateusz Cierniak got the better of Kemp, but the bronze medal was still a worthy result for Neil Vatcher’s youngsters.
