Thirty-four 15- and 16-year old schoolboy rugby players attended a trial at Aston Old Edwardians RFC in Perry Common yesterday [Monday 1 March] in a bid to be selected for the first ever Birmingham City Schools Rugby League representative side.
A total of twelve secondary schools across the city nominated the players who displayed a considerable, and commendable, level of ability and commitment on a very chilly night.
Twenty of the trialists will be selected for the final squad who will then undergo further training before taking on a side from Hull in April.
