SAILING: Alison Young has gained a place on the Royal Yachting Association National Laser Radial youth squad following recent successes.
The Trimpley Sailing Club member finished sixth female and 31st overall at the RYA National Youth Regatta at Hayling Island.
Her results on the first two days were consistent and resulted in her qualifying for the gold fleet for the top 54 boats.
The display, combined with earlier regatta wins, gained Young a place in the 15-strong squad where she is one of only four girls.
She was second female and fourth overall at the Welsh Youth Championships in Pwllheli.
Then Young returned to her topper to finish first female and eighth overall at the Inland Championships at Grafham Waters.
The teenager recorded six top-10 finishes, including a first and second place.
