SHERREARD NAMED AS ENGLAND BOYS CAPTAIN
Tom Sherreard, who is enjoying a highly successful year,
has been appointed England captain for the Boys Home Internationals
at Woodhall Spa on 2nd - 4th August.
The 18 year old from Kent has benefited from the national
coaching scheme for the past three years and is a burgeoning
talent, especially this year.
Sherreard was one of the first to emerge from the restructured
Kent coaching set-up a few years ago and he was a member of
his county’s side that finished runners-up to Yorkshire
in the 2002 Boys County Finals.
He also finished runner-up in the South of England Schools
Championship in 2003 and was capped that year at under 16
level against Scotland and the England Girls under 18 team.
Second place again was the outcome when Sherreard represented
Kent in the 2003 Boys County Finals at Copthorne, before he
achieved another runner-up spot, in the British Boys Championship
at Conwy last year.
He also represented England in the Westfriese Young Masters
in the Netherlands and in the Turkish Amateur Championship.
After being included in the national under 18 squad at the
start of 2005, Sherreard’s game has hit new levels.
He won the Peter McEvoy Trophy at Copt Heath in April and
helped England to third place in the recent World Boys Team
Championships in Japan.
A member of the Chart Hills club, Sherreard is currently
on international duty with England in the European Boys Team
Championships in Italy.
