MANX Sport Aid recipient Tom Corlett has been selected to fence for Great Britain in Luxembourg next month.
The 18-year-old has represented GB several times as a cadet (under-17) foilist but this is his first selection for the junior (u20) foil squad.
He finished as sixth junior and 19th overall in a qualifying event in Bristol earlier this month, which was enough to earn qualification for the Luxembourg event.
The under-20s contest five junior competitions each season hoping to be selected for the GB squad.
This result, coupled with a fifth place finish overall in the Under-20 Commonwealth Championships in February has left Tom ranked sixth in Britain at u20 level and 22nd at senior level.
