MALVERN College's talented lacrosse player Katie Sloane has been selected to play for England at the National Cup Competition in Prague.

This summer's event will be an excellent opportunity to impress ahead of the Lacrosse World Cup in 2007.

Katie, 16, trained with the England squad over Christmas and played for the U-19s. She said: "It will take a great effort to be selected to play for England in the World Cup but I will try to keep improving and hope to be considered."
