Cumbria starlet Sebastian Crookall-Nixon (pictured) has been included in the England team for the annual Under 16 international at Heswall on 25th August against Spain.

England will field two new caps – Oliver Carr (Heswall, Cheshire) and Max Orrin (North Foreland, Kent) with Crookall-Nixon (Workington, Cumbria) and Harry Casey (Enfield, Middlesex) completing the team.

Carr, 16 a former Cheshire Junior Champion, played in the winning Nations Cup team in the McGregor Trophy at Radcliffe-on-Trent and represented the English Golf Union (EGU) in the recent Harder German Junior Masters, finishing tied 14th.

Orrin, 15, from Kent, was prominent in the McGregor Trophy, being joint leader at halfway and finishing just a shot out of the five-man playoff. He has shown consistent results this year including victory in the South of England Boys Championship, runner-up in the Douglas Johns Trophy, fifth in the Kent Youths and sixth place in the English Schools Under 16 Championship.

Crookall-Nixon, 15, has been English Under 16 Champion for the past two years, retaining the title in the five-man playoff at Radcliffe-on-Trent and was a member of the winning Nations Cup team.

 He made his international debut in last year’s Under 16 match against Spain and also played against Scotland and Ireland. He also earned his first boys cap in this month’s Boys Home Internationals at Hankley Common, winning three of his five matches.

Casey, 16, won his first Under 16 cap against Spain last year, is the current Middlesex Under 16 Champion and a former winner of the Douglas Johns Trophy. He also represented the EGU in the Harder German Junior Masters and was a member of the Nations Cup team that finished joint runners-up in the McGregor Trophy.
