ROWING: COMEBACK girl Sian Murray has been invited to Great Britain squad trials next month.
She will join other would-be Under 23 internationals at Hazewinkel, Belgium, with the World Championships at Amsterdam in July her aim.
Firstly, though, she will have to fight her way into the first three in a series of sculling trials to be selected.
The overall winner will be Great Britain's single sculler at the Worlds and it is one of the next two places that 21-year-old Murray has targeted. They will be placed in a lightweight doubles boat.
The Castle-based Northwich Rowing Club member finished sixth in the Junior World Championships in 2001, when clubmate Matthew Langridge won a gold medal.
Shortly afterwards, she fell ill and only began her comeback last year.
'It's quite a shock for me to do so well so soon and I am delighted. I had taken a lot of time out and to be back in a boat was a great feeling.
'I have come back stronger and fitter than ever. It is all looking positive,' she said.
In previous GB trials, Murray has finished fourth and third and she leaves for Belgium via Britain's training camp at Paris.
