England Golf has named its 12-player squad for the upcoming Under 16 International Match versus Ireland at Burnham & Berrow Golf Club (October 5-6).
eesside pair Alex Boyes and Thomas Hartshorne, Colne Valley’s Charlie Rusbridge, Ringway’s Cole Self, Bishops Stortford’s Ben Sessions and Gullane’s Cameron Mukherjee make up the six boys.
Annabel Peaford, Rusbridge, Boyes and Mukherjee were all part of last year’s team which beat Ireland 15-9 at Carton House.
Assistant Performance Manager Jamie O’Connor said: “This match represents an amazing opportunity for our younger players to both gain experience in an international environment, and also stake a claim for the season to come. The match is being hosted by the fantastic Burnham and Berrow Golf Club, and will prove to be fiercely competitive – with all players having successful seasons this year.
“Comprising of six girls and six boys, the match represents a rather unique opportunity, acting as great experience for events such as the Home Internationals, whilst providing an environment where both girls and boys can learn and motivate each other.”
