Following the intensive England SW U18 Counties Trials and progression through the division matches Chinnor's Freddie Barnes (Cokethorpe School) has secured a coveted place in the 23 man England Counties U18 Squad for the upcoming games against Ireland U18 Clubs.

This is a superb achievement by Freddie who started out playing Mini Rugby at Chinnor RFC many seasons ago and has played his rugby at every age group for Chinnor ! Freddie has been a regular in the Oxfordshire County sides and also captained the Chinnor U17's Colts when they became SW Champions 2015/16.

Well done Freddie - however there's just a small matter of the U18 Colts Cup Quarter Final v Olney on the 19h March to deal with !!
