Join the best team in the world... (probably)
No, not Letchworth (oddly enough) but the England U20s, Nations Cup holders and unbeaten by any other national team since... well, quite a long time.
I mention this because - unlike the U18 TDGs - the trials for the U20 squad are open, and moreover open to any players over the age of 17 (on or before 31st August 2008), so it actually overlaps with the TDGs, which is odd - you think they'd select the 17/18 year olds from the TDG girls... why have two separate processes?
Anyway, for the more ambitious amongst you who are not otherwise engaged, the first round of trials for the England Under 20s squad take place on Saturday 6th September 2008 at RAF Halton, Aylesbury (so not too far away either) - click here for directions. Fifty players will then be selected to play in two trial matches, on Sunday 28th September and Saturday 18th October - both at Birmingham University.
