The GB Youth coaching staff today named a 45 strong squad for a development fixture against the Filton Academy this weekend.
Earlier
this winter the GB Youth team returned victorious from their first
competitive international fixture for 5 years after overcoming their
Polish counterparts. That fixture marked the start of a path to further
international competition for Head Coach Steve Rains.
I am delighted to be able to bring the squad together again so quickly after our recent success said Rains.
It is vital that we maintain the
momentum that we have created in our bid to improve as a team. For that
reason I am delighted that we have an opportunity to take part in this
development game against Filton. It gives my coaching staff and I a
chance to take a look further at some of our players and to refine all
aspects of our game, from preparation through to our play book.
