SUCCESS FOR FORMER MV PLAYER/COACH
Former MV 1st XV player and junior coach Rod Murray leads Myerscough students to representative rugby selection squads.
Selection success for Myerscough students
Myerscough College's Rugby Academy won nine of the fourteen places available in the 'England Colleges' Northern Region Squad, it was announced earlier this month.
The England Colleges Men's squad is made up of players who have successfully taken part in the regional trials process. These players represent the best Further Education Colleges Rugby has to offer. They represent their College and their Country in internationals against the Portuguese U18's, Irish Exiles and the Welsh Colleges.
The England Colleges training weekend sees the fourteen best players from each of the four regions: North, Midlands, South-East, and South-West. In a show of Northern dominance, Myerscough's Rugby Academy students make up nine of the fourteen places available through the North Region.
The nine players selected from Myerscough College include: Harry Pilkington, Aiden Charlton, Matty Dowler, Mosese Liwa Liwa, Olly McCall, Phil Mills, Orisi Nawaqaliava, Olly Parkinson and Eddy Webster.
Speaking about the strong performance from Myerscough's Academy students, Course Leader Rod Murray said:"Everyone here at the Myerscough Rugby Academy is so happy for the boys. We work our lads hard at the Academy so they deserve their places on the training weekend in December. We're especially proud that nine out of the fourteen Northern Region places have gone to our Academy students. It shows the level of talent we have here at Myerscough College and proves that our training methods and techniques are working. Hopefully next year we can get a clean sweep with all fourteen places!"

Can we get some of them at MV to play
Rod's probably already got them pencilled in at Hoppers ;-) But I'll mention it next time I see him
Just 1 or 2 will do, fingers crossed for 2 then he will have a mate lol second row and a 12 but anyone will do :) is rod on twitter
No harm in asking next time I see him (but I think these 'elite' students are discouraged from playing 'club rugby' outside of College, County and Country!!)
