BOY CAPS NAMED IN ENGLAND UNDER 21 SQUAD - 24th Oct 2005

English Under 18 Stroke Play Champion Thomas Haylock and England Boy Captain Tom Sherreard are included in the EGU’s under 21 training squad just announced.

Haylock (pictured), also the South East Junior Champion, won the Under 18 Championship for the Carris Trophy at Moor Park in July, which prompted his England debut in the Boys Home Internationals at Woodhall Spa in August.

Two other members of that victorious team, Jamie Abbott and Sherreard, are also in the 18-strong squad that will meet for a four-day training session at Woodhall Spa in early November.

Abbott, 18, the Suffolk Match Play Champion, was the individual winner in the South East Boys Qualifying at Bedford this year, while Sherreard finished runner-up having won the McEvoy Trophy ahead of his selection as England Boy Captain.

There are a number of former boy caps in the squad, namely Danny Denison, Ben Evans, James Smith and Oliver Turnill.

Denison, 20, was joint winner of the Carris Trophy in 2003, while 18-year-old Evans finished runner-up in the English Under-14 Championship for the Reid Trophy in 2000. Smith, 20, won the Tillman Trophy in 2003 and is the current Kent Champion, while Turnill won the Sussex County Championship this summer.

Ian Winstanley, also named in the squad, won the Reid Trophy in 2001 and is a former Cheshire Boy Champion, and Sam Haywood from Yorkshire was in the Rotherham team that won this year’s Champion Club Tournament at Brancepeth Castle.

There are two Lincolnshire youngsters in the squad, Rob Harris, 19, last year’s Midland Boy Champion, and Daniel Seaman, 20, both of whom represented their county in the recent English Championship Finals in Cornwall.

Three members of the squad were involved in the Boys County Finals at Little Aston, Daniel Brooks represented Essex, who finished runners-up, Andrew Sullivan was in the Warwickshire team, while Chris Wood, the South West Counties Boys Champion played for Gloucestershire.
