HARRY Solven, from Cradley, was eighth in the Formula Worlds at Lake Garda, Italy, last week .

This was an excellent result as he was the youngest competitor there and still has a year to go in this class.

He and brother Guy are at the top of the Windsurfing National Rankings with Guy lying in sixthplace and Harry lying in ninth place.

They now hope to attend another world class event in August - the Formula European Experience in Portugal.
