ACADEMY manager Mark Hewitt has named a strong Worcester Warriors Under 18 side to travel to Oval Park to face Leicester Tigers tomorrow in the Aviva Premiership Academy League (12pm).

Academy half-back Jamie Shillcock is at scrum-half while four of the Warriors AASE players are named in the starting line-up.

Max Craven, Stan Maine, George Newman and Ted Hill are all set to start with a further five AASE stars on the bench.

Ben Fowles will lead the side from number eight, as the youngsters look to make it two in two following October’s 24-0 win over Yorkshire Carnegie.

Hewitt said: “We had a fantastic start against Yorkshire and we’ve got a hungry group of lads who want to make the most of the Christmas period by taking on some of the best sides in the country.”
