face Scotland at Arbroath on Sunday
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH GOLF UNION
England will go into Sunday's one-day Under 16 international boys match with Scotland at Arbroath Golf Club fielding six players who have not represented their country in an international match before.
The newcomers are
Sam Edwards (Bigbury, Devon)
Curtis Griffiths (Wentworth, Surrey)
Nick Newbold (Kedleston Park, Derbyshire)

The rest of the team is
Oliver Carr (Heswall, Cheshire)
Harry Casey (Enfield, Middlesex)
Seb Crookall-Nixon (Workington, Cumbria)
Liam Harper (Lydd, Kent).
Edwards is the Devon Boys and Under 16 Champion, while Griffiths is a former Surrey Under 14 Champion who finished second in the South East Boys Under 16 Championship and helped Surrey win the English Boys County Finals this year.
Newbold was involved in the five-way tie for the McGregor Trophy this year but lost in the playoff, was runner-up in the Midland Boys Championship and fifth in the recent Dutch Junior Masters, while Payne was also a member of the winning Surrey team in the English Boys County Finals having won the South East Boys Under 16 title and finished runner-up in the equivalent Surrey event.
Tree was the English Under 14 Champion in 2008, winning the Reid Trophy at Coxmoor while he recently won the Douglas Johns Trophy and the Sussex Boys Championship in a playoff, while Walsh won the Hazards Salver for the best performance by an Under 16 golfer in the Carris Trophy.
Carr, last year’s Cheshire Junior Champion, played in the Under 16 international with Spain at Heswall in August while Casey, a former winner of the Douglas Johns Trophy, Crookall-Nixon, the English Under 16 Champion for the past two years, and Harper, third in the recent Dutch Junior Masters, all played against the Scots last year at South Staffs.
England have generally held the upper hand in these matches. Scotland won for the first time in 2006 but England have won for the past two years.
