Liah is back!

Liah Boyle completed her first slalom events of the year at Shepperton, and won on both days; with Ivijah Campbell_Bryan coming second on Saturday and winning on Sunday. Well done!

The Rain was heavy on both days, but our paddlers were undeterred as they took to the challenge of Shepperton Slalom.
