Players should have by now received a letter during the course of this week either
(a) inviting them to join the England 16 Group, for training on Friday 25th;
(b) inviting them to take part in the North & Midlands squad for Festival Two, on Sat/Sun 26th/27th, or
(c) recommending further development with their school and/or club.
Any players who fall within (c) and who have a 1991 date of birth are recommended to contact their CB as soon as possible, to enquire about their county's Under 18s Development (formerly Under 17s) programme, which is getting under way now.
This offers a limited route in 2008 towards selection at Under 18s, which relies on a 1st January, not 30th September, birthday.
