British crews shine at World Cup
GB men's coxless four celebrate
Great Britain's four triumphed at the last World Cup meet
Twelve British crews - eight of them in Olympic classes - will race in Sunday's finals of the World Cup in Amsterdam.

That tally includes - for the first time ever in a World Cup final - two men's eights.

Britain's men's double sculls both won their semi-finals, with Matthew Wells and Stephen Rowbotham looking strong in the open weight category.

Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter in the lightweight event held off the double Olympic champions from Poland.

The women's quadruple scull made no mistakes, after Friday's cancelled race, in winning their heat in style to qualify for Sunday's final.

The new GB composite men's eight, featuring the world champion men's four and the men's pair winners from Linz, also went through comfortably.

Britain's lightweight women's double scull are also through to the final having narrowly missed out at the last World Cup earlier this month.
