; Torn, ; now; a pupil at Giggleswick Junior School, was one of 36 boys from : 14 other schools, hoping to be selected : The trials were held on November 7th at Sedbergh School, and consisted of a rnorning session .of skills and a srnall sided, game, and then, following lunch,


'a 3x20-minute thirds game was played, allowing the boys to try out their first and second choice positions. The. five

and played in his first game for the North - Team against the ’ Midlands Team at 'Worksop College on Sunday.
