Two St Albans Centurions players have been selected to play in the England Lionhearts squad for the forthcoming Four Nations International competition. Speedy winger Oliver Fountain (left) and rampaging prop forward Andy Lake (right) were both selected after trials and training sessions held in the North of England last weekend. England Lionhearts are selected from players in the Rugby League Conference. It competes against Wales A, Scotland A (Bravehearts) and Ireland A (Wolfhounds) each year in the Amateur Four Nations competition. The first representative game is expected to be in June.
Our barnstorming loose forward Paul Maloney (left) has also made the international scene when he was selected to play for the Irish Students team when they compete in the Student World Cup in Brisbane, Australia in July of this year. Eight national teams, made up of rugby league playing students have made it through to the final stages of the Student World Cup. This competition is looked upon as a precursor to the Rugby League World Cup which is also being held in Australia in October.
Our congratulations go to all three players.
