SIX young players from Basingstoke Bison have been selected for the England national team.

They are Felix Hemmings-Maher (U16), Oscar Minton (U15), Ethan Lewis, Ollie Hagedorn (both U14), Jordan Calabria-Deane and Lewis Battarbee (both U13).

They will travel with the England team to Turku, Finland in April to compete in a tournament.

Hugo Skinns and Riley Boulding of the U12 team recently travelled to Slovakia to compete with England. 

A Bison spokesperson said: “We're incredibly proud of how hard our players have worked to be given this opportunity and we know they will represent Basingstoke with pride.”
