Jersey Rugby Academy Luke Huelin selected for U16 South East England Divisional Trials
Hampshire U16 Rugby concluded its last county game in 2009 last Sunday against Essex at Old Brentwoods RFC. Luke Huelin started as scrum half and demonstrated some solid box kicks to help the Hampshire side dominate the first 20 minutes and conclude the first half 0-5. Hampshire failed to convert and missed two penalties. The home side soon drew level in the second half with some powerful forwards play. They also converted and took the score to 10-5 with a penalty. Hampshire rallied round with a second try to conclude a well spirited and hard fought game 10-10.
The game also concluded the series of London and South East matches at which the U16 Divisional selectors were present. Some 90 players are selected from eight London and South East counties to take part in the first in a series of Divisional trials in St Albans on Sunday 06 December. The trials constitute an initial step towards the opportunity for England selection at U16 level. Luke Huelin has been selected to attend the Divisional trials this Sunday.
