England name uncapped
side for home series

By Bill Meredith - Electronic Telegraph

 

DAVID GRIFFITHS, 19, of West Herts, who won the Daily Telegraph/Center Parcs Junior Championship last year, is one of two new caps named in England's team for the Home Internationals at Royal County Down this month. The other is Mark Side, 23, of Shirley Park, holder of the Brabazon Trophy.

They will join an otherwise experienced side who hope to win the Raymond Trophy for a record seventh consecutive year. Max Harris, the Sussex county player who is at university in America, will fly back to play in Ireland, although Paul Casey, the English Amateur champion, Luke Donald and Philip Rowe cannot get time off from their colleges.

Aran Wainwright, beaten finalist in this year's Amateur Championship at County Down, has been recalled to the side, and Graeme Storm, his conqueror, is also in the party.

ENGLAND: S Dyson (Sand Moor), D Griffiths (W Herts), M Harris (Ham Manor), C Mayson (Aspley Guise), C Rodgers (Ryl Mid-Surrey), M Sanders (Bristol & Clifton), M Side (Shirley Pk), G Storm (The Wynyard), A Wainwright (Garforth), J Wells (Beverley), G Wolstenholme (Kilworth Springs). Reserves: N Dougherty (Shaw Hill), A Frayne (St Mellion), R McEvoy (Thorpe Hall).
