Teams for Boys' Home Internationals
Listed below are the teams for the Boys' Home Internationals which start at Hankley Common Golf Club, Surrey on Tuesday.
The event is contested by the best players aged 18 or under from Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland.
Defending champions, Ireland, hope to hold on to The R&A Trophy, which they narrowly won
8–7 in an enthralling final match against England at Royal County Down in 2008.
TEAMS
IRELAND
Ciaran Boggan (Co Meath); Brian Casey (Headfort); Paul Dunne (Greystones); Michael Durcan (Co Sligo); Colin Fairweather (Knock); Dermot McElroy (Ballymena); Garth McGee (Malone); Daniel Murphy (Portarlington); Ian O’Rourke (Cork); Chris Selfridge (Moyola Park); Reeve Whitson (Mourne)
ENGLAND
Jonathan Bell (Royal Blackheath); Tom Berry (Wentworth); Scott Campbell (Hallowes); Adam Carson (Long Ashton); Sebastian Crookall-Nixon (Workington); Hugo Dobson (Fynn Valley); Tom Lewis (Welwyn Garden City); Chris Lloyd (The Kendleshire); Max Smith (Newbury Racecourse); James Webber (Three Rivers); Joshua White (Chipstead)
WALES
Jack Bush (Morlais Castle); Michael Evans (Clays); Rhodri Fieldhouse (Wrexham); Rhodri Harston (Felixstowe Ferry); Luke Jackson (Mold); Ross McLister (Cardiff); Matthew Moseley (Carmarthen); Patrick Mullins (Whitchurch); Christopher Nugent (Fulford Heath); Mark Parry (Holyhead); Rhys Pugh (Vale of Glamorgan)
SCOTLAND
Sandy Bolton (Goring & Streatley); Grant Forrest (Craigielaw); Scott Gibson (Southerness); David Law (Hazlehead); Jack McDonald (Kilmarnock (Barassie); Ian Redford (New Club St Andrews); Chris Robb (Inchmarlo); Jack Scott (Deeside); Paul Shields (Kirkhill); Calum Stewart (Brora); Daniel Young (Craigie Hill)
Ireland will get the three-day round-robin event underway on Tuesday morning with their opening tie against Scotland. England will then play Wales in the day’s second match.
Matches will consist of five foursomes matches, followed by ten singles matches, each played over 18 holes of Hankley Common.
Officially opened in 1897, the Surrey heathland course was extended to 18 holes by five-time Open champion, James Braid. The Boys Home Internationals is not the first R&A championship that the venue has hosted. The Seniors Open Amateur was held at Hankley Common in August of 1995 and the club has hosted Regional Qualifying for The Open Championship on a number of occasions.
The 2009 contest will continue the most exciting and evenly contested period in the history of the event, which has existed in its present format since 1996. Three different nations have prevailed in the last three years with Scotland winning in 2006 at Lossiemouth, England lifting The R&A Trophy in 2007, and Ireland emerging victorious in 2008.
Full half-day and full-day reports and scores will appear on www.RandA.org throughout the three days of competition.
