Cockermouth Wasps are delighted to hear the news today that Grant Seward has been selected for the North of England U18s squad and the fourth coming games towards England U18s selection.

Everyone at the club is delighted for Grant and we wish him well on the next part of this programme. Unlucky to Harry Bibby and Luke Broster who just missed out but both players have been told to stay match fit and could be called up at any time over the coming weeks with a busy schedule in place. Well done to Nat Mossop and Paul Harrison from Cumbria who have also made the squad.
