Huge congratulations to Iain Dunlop, Matthew Hill, Ben Matthews (ex-pupil), Connor Howe, Craig Lambie, Johny Davis, Josh Gray, Stephen Cochrane (ex-pupil) and Kevin Archer (ex-pupil) who have been selected as part of the U19 Scotland training squad for the 2012 Junior World Championships in Finland.
The full U19 training squad of 29 players will be cut to 23 before the tournament so these young men have a lot of hard work ahead of them and will be competing for a national cap. Good luck!
