Boys Club Captain Myles Ford is justly proud of the selections, a sentiment echoed by Karen Edwards, the Girls Club Captain. "It’s a testament to both the talent and application of the boys themselves and the quality of coaching they have received that we have such a good cluster of Brighton and Hove boys representing their county.

"There is now an on-going flow of young talent coming through the club, and we have a particular strength in goalkeeping where Brighton has provided keepers for three of the four age groups.

"Many of the youngsters who joined the club when we moved to Blatch are now reaching the senior adult teams, so hopefully we can look forward to some of them making their first team debuts soon."

Congratulations to all the Brighton and Hove youngsters selected and good luck for the season.
