Two of Wharfedale’s brightest young prospects have attracted the attention of the Yorkshire selectors.
Phil Woodhead, the 19-year-old scrum half for whom Wharfedale have such high hopes, has been selected to play for Yorkshire under-19s.
The Dalesmen’s chairman of rugby, Michael Harrison, is one of Philip’s strongest supporters, saying: “Philip has been with us ever since he was a mini, and his talent has been obvious from the start.
“Selection for the under-19s is a great honour, and I am sure it is only the beginning.”
Sam Harrison, the 17-year old back-row forward who has been showing such promise in the Wharfedale Colts XV, will play for the county under-18s.
Harrison (no relation) is equally excited by Sam’s prospects, adding: “He is such a strong player for one so young and we are looking forward to helping him develop into a serious rugby player.”
