A SKIPTON teenager has been picked to play for the Lancashire under-15 rugby union team.
Matthew Pickles, aged 15, is a pupil at Stonyhurst College in the Ribble Valley, near Clitheroe, and is one of seven pupils from the college who have been selected.
"We are so proud of the boys' achievements," said Simon Charles, director of sport at Stonyhurst College.
"The boys have played exceptionally well and we are looking forward to supporting them at their next match.
"Rugby has always played an important part of the college's sports curriculum and we are honoured that the county of Lancashire has recognised the boys' talents and selected them to play."
