Old boy Max Blinkhorn, who left school last summer to go to university, has been selected for the England U20s Rugby Squad. He was involved in both squads in their recent rugby matches, as they prepare for the upcoming U20s 6 Nations. The young team lost out to a strong Bath United side in early January, but prevailed against Oxford University the following week - with Blinkhorn crossing the whitewash for a fantastic try.
