NEIL HOPE adds to his vast number of junior international caps this weekend when he represents England Under 25s in the British Indoor International Junior Series being staged at Palmerston IBC, Fareham.
And once again the 24-year-old, who has been skipping regularly this winter, has been named as one of England's four skips.
Hope made his Engand U25s debut as skip in the annual match against Wales for the Bernard Telfer Trophy at MidGlos in November, leading his rink to an emphatic 32-8 victory.
This 24-shot win was instrumental in England, beating Wales 85-73 even though honours were shared with both sides winning on two rinks.
The England junior selectors have not surprisingly opted to leave Hope's rink alone and have again named him to play alongside Mark O'Riordan (Thornaby), Neil Davies (Desborough, Maidenhead) and Chris Gale (Blackpool Borough).
England face Ireland this morning and Wales later in the day. Tomorrow, England face Scotland, in what is likely to be the decider for the Home Junior International Series.
