Congratulations to Manchester Mystics’ Elizandra Costa (U16), Maisie Keyes (U16), Alexandra Hernandez (U18), and former Mystic’ Olivia Forster (U18), and Manchester Magic’s David Hewitt (U16), Jack Walton (U16) and Matthew Goodwin (U18), who have all been selected to represent England at the Four Nations Tournament in Dublin (U16s) and Cardiff (U18s) next month.  Mystics’ Holly Stones is also representing Wales (U16).

The Four Nations matches will be an opportunity for players to stake their claims for selection for the U16 and U18 Great Britain teams, though other English players not selected for these tournaments will also be in the running when those squads are chosen.
