U20 Home Countries International team announced

England will be represented by two strong teams at this year’s Home Countries international. They will compete against Wales and northern Ireland. A new format of competition, the programme is condensed with a mixture of events for each gender lending itself to a fast-paced competition.

Vicky Griffiths, England Athletics Teams Operations Manager said:

"As hosts of this year’s international, we are very excited to be fielding two strong England Teams. Our athletes are in great form, finishing in the top positions at the recent England Championships and we are hopeful of a strong team performance against the other home nation teams."
