Nicky Cresser’s not one for screaming from the rooftops, but we managed to squeeze this out of him when we found out he’d make the England team!

  • “I’m on the England team in C1 and have raced at Grandtully in the Pan-Celtic cup. I finished 8th, right up there with the prem guys which isn’t bad for a bit of a novice, guess. I managed a strong performance at the first selection weekend, dominating the fitness tests and having good presence on the pitch during the games sessions, I was named in the line up for the men’s senior A-team for the first major international of the season in Charleroi (Belgium). The team gelled after an uncertain start with a few significant changes in personel, and finished in 4th place in a very strong field. With this strong performance behind me I have been named in the line-up for Essen in Germany, after which the lineup will be finalised for the European Championships in August.”
