The junior men's coxed four of Thomas Murray, Michael Brake, Cameron Webster, Thomas Jenkins and Sam Bosworth beat Germany to claim gold, while Serbia held on for third place.
There were bronze medals for the women's junior straight four and the quadruple scull.
The Junior men's quadruple scull had a tougher time in its A final, as the crew of Mitchell Mackenzie-Mol, Russell and Cameron Crampton and Corey McCaffrey were never able to challenge for the lead and finished sixth overall.
