KYLE ANDERSON has been invited to attend the England Men’s Junior International trial at Victoria Park, Royal Leamington Spa, on Monday, May 26.

It is the first time that Anderson, 21, from Wanborough, has received a call-up to an England junior international team trial.

A brilliant young prospect, Anderson has been playing the game since the age of nine when he started at local club Wanborough with his father John before the pair switched to Westlecot in 2004.

He made his Wiltshire debut in the inter-county championship for the Middleton Cup in 2010 and also completed a county double winning both the Wiltshire under 25 singles title and the county unbadged singles.

“I was hoping that I had been nominated for a trial but didn’t know or not,” said a delighted Anderson.

“When the e-mail came it was out of the blue but a big surprise - I am well chuffed and to be honest still in a state of shock.

“Now I will have to come back home and get some serious practice in quickly as the trial is on May 26. I am busy at the moment preparing for my final exams at university.”

Anderson is currently in his last year at Brighton University, studying for a degree in finance and investment and takes his final examinations in the next couple of months.

Meanwhile, Wiltshire’s men, under the stewardship of president Keith Baker (Westlecot) drew their final friendly match of the 2013/14 season against Hampshire at North Wilts (Chippenham).

Despite only winning on two of the six rinks Wiltshire only still shared the spoils 124-124 with Baker’s rink playing a significant role with a 38-15 win to help the county to a draw against Hampshire last week.

“Being the very last county friendly match of this indoor season for both counties it was one we both wanted to win,” said president Baker.

“The whole game was a credit to the sport.”
