The IHGF has announced the “official line up for this year’s IHGF European Amateur Highland Games Team Championships to be hosted in the magnificent surroundings of the Bressuire castle in France on June 9–10,” Francis Brebner reported to IronMind.

Here are the teams:

Team 1—Jonathan Kelly (Ireland), Grant Sinclair ( Scotland)
Team 2—Pieter Boma (Holland), Amine Amroun (France)
Team 3—Daniel Dorow (Germany), Tarmo Mitt (Estoina)
Team 4—Adam Darazs (Hungary), Martin Shiller (Austria)
Team 5—Casba Meszaros (Hungary), Oscar Brugemanis (Latvia)
Team 6—David Frey (Germany), Janne Hartikanen (Finland)

“There is no doubt that this competition will be one the biggest representations of athletes from a total of nine different countries which will be filmed for several European TV networks.

“I am predicting that every European Championship record to be broken and the newcomer to Highland Games Janne Hartikanen will make a real impact in his first championship after seeing in his all round performances at last years IHGF Coaching Clinic held in Finland,” said Brebner.
