Wimbledon & Surrey U18 back row forward Dylan Morris has been successful in the London & South East Counties trials and has been put forward for the final trial for the England U18 Clubs & Schools Side to be held at Loughborough University at the end of February 2015. The pic below is Dylan in front of his dad's (John) Wales Universities shirt the year they beat England Universities. John is keen to share the secret to Dylan's success on the pitch: he always plays wearing his lucky Welsh pants! Thank goodness Dylan's seen sense and has an England trial...

This is a huge achievement for the Wimbledon RFC Youth system and hopefully there will be many more to follow in his footsteps.

Dylan has worked tirelessly on his fitness and commitment to rugby at both club and county level to achieve this accolade. It's well deserved.

None of this would have been possible without Charlie O’Rourke who has coached Dylan and the team over the past 12 years, from U6. His dedication and expertise has not only driven the squad to be the current Surrey U17 Champions he has also nurtured the talents of Josh O’Rourke and Alex Kane who also play for Surrey.

A truly great achievement for the coaching and youth system in our 150th celebration year - good luck to Dylan at the trial.

Dick Dunford, Youth Chair.
