England Golf has named its 12-player squad for the upcoming under-16 match against Ireland at Burnham & Berrow Golf Club – including Teesside’s Tom Hartshorne and Alex Boyes.
Sisters Emily and Annabel Peaford, Lila Bisset, Ellie Lichtenhein and Elizabeth Wilson – who were all recently named in the England girls’ squad for 2024-25 – are also part of the team along with Minchinhampton’s Summer Carash.
Teesside pair Alex and Tom, Colne Valley’s Charlie Rusbridge, Ringway’s Cole Self, Bishops Stortford’s Ben Sessions and Gullane’s Cameron Mukherjee make up the six boys for the match, which will take place October 5-6.
Alex, Annabel Peaford, Charlie and Cameron were all part of last year’s team which beat Ireland 15-9 at Carton House.
England golf assistant performance manager Jamie O’Connor said: “This match represents an amazing opportunity for our younger players to gain experience in an international environment and stake a claim for the season to come. The match is being hosted by the fantastic Burnham & Berrow 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 while providing an environment where both girls and boys can learn and motivate each other.”
