Lancashire announce squad for Canada tour
The newly-styled Bill Beaumont Cup could hardly have had a more appropriate launch than Saturday's game between defending County Champions Lancashire and their neighbours Cheshire at Fylde RFC, the home of the former England and British Lions captain.
The sense of time and place was also very apposite in that the Red Rose men have today announced their squad to tour Canada on a trip to mark the 125th Anniversary of the Lancashire RFU – a squad that included one Sam Beaumont from Fylde, Bill’s son.
He is a 21-year-old back-five forward and is one of a trio of younger players in the squad taken to broaden their experience, the others being his clubmate Dan Waller and Steve Williams from Waterloo.
The tour is sponsored by InterContinental Hotels Group, through its 'Holiday Inn' arm, and the travelling party of 39 that will arrive in St John’s, Newfoundland on June 7, will be:
Steve Nutt (Waterloo), Nick Royle (Fylde), Neil Kerfoot (Waterloo), Daniel Waller (Fylde), Chris Briers (Sedgley Park), Chris Glynn (Shelford), Neil Hunter (Waterloo), Jason Duffy (Sedgley Park), Freeman Payne (Waterloo), Paul Bailey (Preston Grasshoppers), Dave McCormack (Bradford & Bingley), Darren Wilson (Preston Grasshoppers), Martin O’Keefe (Waterloo), Matt Collie (Macclesfield), Nick Flynn (Manchester), Pietrus Du Plessis (Sedgley Park), Tom Lavelle (Fylde), Henry Platt (Manchester), Gareth Rawlings (Manchester),Chris Planchant (Waterloo), Sam Beaumont (Fylde), Alan Yates (Sedgley Park), Steve Williams (Waterloo), Dan Palmer (Waterloo), Roger Banks (Fylde), Dave Wilks (Nottingham).
