Stratton joins Olympic champion Scott for season opener

Olympic gold medalist Hannah Scott will be joined in the Great Britain quadruple sculls for this weekend’s first World Cup regatta in Seville by another Northern Ireland rower making her senior international debut. 22 year-old Finnola Stratton is already a world champion at under-23 level and although she grew up on a farm near Bristol, her mum, Cathy, is from Cullybackey in County Antrim. Scott and Stratton will be joined in the boat by Lola Anderson and Sarah McKay.
