Ben Arnold 13H has been selected to represent England in U18 Mens' Hockey for an international test series against Ireland in Dublin in February 2008.

A twenty two man squad will represent England at this tournament, with players attempting to secure a place in the final eighteen man squad to represent England in Holland, Poland and Wales in 2008.

Ben will be attending a training camp over the New Year in Gibraltar, ahead of the series against Ireland in February.

Ben represented England U16 in 2006 and we all wish him the best of luck for this final selection tournament ahead of full U18 season.

'I am really happy to have been selected and I am looking forward to playing. This is something that I would love to concentrate on in the future with the ultimate goal of playing at the Olympics.'

Ben Arnold
