The seven JSA players are Glyn Hughes (fly half), Will Dunkley (Centre), Sam Collins (centre), Charlie Sadler (full back), Mike Haywood (hooker), Dan Brotherton (lock) and Sam Farmer (flanker). Brotherton, Collins, Haywood and Sadler are all students at Moulton College, the Saints' Partnership College, while Dunkley and Farmer are both at Bedford School. Hughes is a pupil at Stratton Upper in Bedfordshire.

Collins, Sadler and Haywood have all played for the Wanderers this season.

The players were selected after the recent inter-county matches which culminated in the Super Sunday tournament at Broadstreet RFC two weeks ago and will form the next stage in the selection process for the Midlands Under-18.

National selectors will be present at the Midlands Assessment Day which will comprise a match of two 25 minute periods and one of 20 minutes between Reds and Blacks.

The Midlands selectors will then announce a training squad to prepare for the Divisional Festival which will be staged at Broadstreet between January 2nd and 4th.

The Junior Saints Academy is sponsored by LIO. For more information visit www.logicalfrance.com.
