Chalgrove's dragon boat-racer David Buckand has been selected to represent Great Britain’s seniors in the European Championships.

Buckland (pictured) qualified through a time trial against opposition in the British squad.

He will travel with the British team to Amsterdam for the Championships in August.

His next target is a place in next year’s World Championships which will be held on Tampa Bay, Florida.

Buckland is a member of the Henley Dragon Boat Racing Team who are searching for new members.

He said: “My main aim is to bring back a gold medal back to Chalgrove and Wallingford.”
