Wales Women U20s side to face England

Wales Women U20 head coach Liza Burgess had selected her match-day 23 for an Anglo-Welsh clash against England at Dings RFC, Shaftesbury Park tomorrow afternoon (KO 2pm).

Entry to the ground is free of charge, with the fixture also streamed live on the England Rugby YouTube channel.

Gwalia Lightning centre Jenna De Vera has been named captain while second row Erin Jones will be her vice-captain.
“Jenna has been outstanding and shown great leadership qualities throughout the sessions we have had together,” said Burgess. “She epitomises everything we’re trying to do both on and off the field.

“Erin has also been brilliant; she does the hard work on the field and is a leader in her own right.”

Looking ahead to tomorrow’s encounter, Burgess said: “It’s a great opportunity to play against England as an end to this first training block of 10 sessions which started in April.

“In this first block we have been concentrating on individual skill development and working to get to know each other as part of the team.

“The girls’ effort and application throughout this first block of training has been excellent and the game against England is an opportunity to work on the things we have introduced the players to and see what kind of performance we can put out on the field.

“We have another block to look forward to and we are building towards that.”

  1. The Nelson is a term used to refer to a score of 111 by an individual player or a team. This is also used for multiples of 111, such as 222 (double Nelson), 333 (triple Nelson), and so on. The Nelson is considered unlucky because the number 111 is similar in appearance to a bail-less wicket. Players and fans believe that something bad or unlucky would occur when a player or team reaches that score.

  2. Although cricket is a non-contact sport, players still experience injuries during a game, some of which are career-ending or even fatal. The first known player to have a deadly accident while playing cricket is Jasper Vinall of England. He was hit by a bat on the forehead and died two weeks later.
