A Level student is selected for the England Rugby Squad

A Newcastle-under-Lyme College student has been selected for the England Rugby Squad after going through a series of trials. David Meakin, a scrum half or centre has been selected over 100's of students throughout the country to attend the England training camp on Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th December.

David, an A level student studying Maths, Chemistry, Physical Education, Physics and a member of the college's Rugby Academy said 'I was shocked to find out that I had been selected as the trials were really hard and the standard was really high'.

Trevor Humphreys, the Academy of Sport Manager talked very highly of David saying 'he is an extremely committed young individual who is realising his talent in rugby. It is further evidence that the support of the college is allowing students to reach their sporting potential'.
