DMP Sharks star and England World Cup winner Katy Mclean has been named in the first Team GB rugby squad to compete in the Olympics in more than 100 years.

Katy is one of 24 men and women announced by the British Olympic Association who will compete in rugby sevens at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

It will be the first time in 108 years that Team GB has had representation in rugby at Olympic level and a first for the seven-a-side format.

Competition takes place over six days with the women competing first from August 6-8 at the Deodoro Stadium in a pool which includes hosts Brazil, Japan and Canada.

The men’s competition follows from August 9-11 with Kenya, Japan and New Zealand waiting in the pool stages for Team GB.

Congratulations from everyone at Mowden Park on an incredible achievement.
