The annual European U19 Champs take place from 11th to 15th April at Hector Sport Centre in Prague, Czechia. The team event follows from 17th to 20th.
For once England weren’t the hot favourites, with France providing the top seeds in both events – Amir Khaled-Jousselin and Lauren Baltayan justifying their seeding as they claimed the titles.
