NORTH Petherton rugby starlet Dan Frost has been selected in the England under 18 squad for their forthcoming campaign.

England take on France at Doncaster RFC on February 22 in their opening fixture, with the 17-year-old hooker hoping to be involved in the matchday squad.

The teenager scored a try in North Petherton’s derby defeat to Bridgwater & Albion at the beginning of the month – and is also a member of the first XV at SGS Filton College.

North Petherton u14 10, Morganians u14 5

NORTH Petherton under 14s fought back from being 5-0 down at half-time to beat Morganians 10-5 at the weekend.

A large crowd where rewarded with a very entertaining match, thanks to a try from Joe Shadrick converted by Jack Rees - and then a penalty converted by Rees.

Petherton’s forwards were outstanding once again against a very powerful Morgs’ pack and now look forward to their first ever semi-final in the Somerset Junior County Cup, being played at Beggars Brook on Sunday, 11am KO.
