YOUNG hockey ace Robert Allen is celebrating after being se-ected for the England Under 16 squad.

The 15-year-old, a pupil at Worcester's Nunnery Wood High School, will be one of the youngest players in the squad which has been selected for two forthcoming tournaments.

Robert is a regular member of the Midlands U15 squad and captained Nunnery Wood as they reached the semi-finals of the national cup last year.

He follows in the footsteps of another Nunnery Wood pupil Lee Irish who was selected for England last year. Both also play for Worcester Hockey Club.
