The 29th October will see the start of the 2007 Under 17 European championships (Euro Jeunesse Rink-Hockey Nantes 2007). NRHA Senior Coach Carlos Amaral has selected the team he will take to Nantes, France next week to represent England in this prestigiuos championship. This annual competition is usually the first opportunity for players to represent their nation and with nine teams entered the competition is expected to be strong.

The England team listed below have been training together for the last six months at the national training weekends arranged by the NRHA’s head coach. For most of the boys this will be the first time they have played in front of a large number of people so I’m sure they will be a little nervous. We wish them good luck and boys, enjoy the moment.
