Manager Paul Fairclough has named the Diamonds trio in his sixteen man squad for the forthcoming friendly fixture against Wales on Tuesday 14th September at Latham Park, Newtown AFC (1930ko).

 

Dale and Max are two of the more experienced players with Curtis one of the nine new faces among the sixteen. Although selected for the England last November, Curtis was unable to travel to Poland for the game. The friendly in Wales is a warm up for England's vital International Trophy Group B game in Tallinn, Estonia in October.

 

England have already won their first match in the Tournament, when they beat the Republic of Ireland 2-1 in Waterford back in May thanks to goals from Andrew Fleming and Max Porter, and a win Estonia will see them progress to the semi-final stage of the Tournament.

Paul Fairclough said: "The side had a successful season in 2009/2010 culminating with the excellent performance and victory against the Republic of Ireland in Waterford. However, once again, that success has meant that the team will continue in the International Challenge Trophy without some of that squad.

Sam Deering and Matt Green have moved into the League with Oxford United and will be joined at the Kassam Stadium by Tom Craddock who signed on transfer deadline day. In addition, Rossi Jarvis has moved to Barnet, Andrew Fleming to Morecambe and Darius Charles to Stevenage.
The lads will be missed but, as always, this leaves the door wide open for the next batch of hungry cubs who will be eager to impress.

Fairclough added: "Prior to the next phase of the International Challenge Trophy in Estonia, we have the opportunity to bring in fresh faces for the Welsh clash. We have been busy checking out new arrivals to gauge the standard of players who either dropped out of the league or have been snapped up from the lower leagues to play Conference football.

 

The game against Wales will, as usual, be fiercely contested and the perfect game to assess players for the game in Estonia. The nucleus of the squad from the game in Waterford are still intact and they will also be eager to impress in the early part of the season. I am confident England `C` can progress to the next stages of the competition with several new names wearing the Three Lions with pride."

 

The full squad is:

Dale Roberts, Curtis Osano, Max Porter (Rushden & Diamonds)

Kyle McFadzean, Ben Wright (Crawley Town)

Sam Hatton, Steven Gregory (AFC Wimbledon)

Danny Rose, Charlie Henry (Newport County)

Jake Howells, Matthew Barnes-Homer (Luton Town)

Michael Gash (York City)

Michael Coulson (Grimsby Town)

Greg Taylor (Kettering Town)

Pat Gambe, Aden Flint (Alfreton Town)
