Team Andell will be looking to defend their women’s title, after winning the last English Junior Championship which was held in September 2021. On the men’s side, there will be a new team representing England as Team Sugden have “aged-out” and are no longer competing at junior level. After each team has a practice session on the first day, a double round robin will begin for the junior women. Since there are only 2 junior men’s teams, they will play a best-of-five series. The champions will then represent England at the World Junior B Curling Championships in 2023. We wish everyone taking part the best of luck!
