Shane to play for England?

Wednesday, 17 May 2006

Former Crawley youth star Shane Blackett (above) has been named in the England National Game XI squad by manager ahead of next week's Four Nations Tournament.
Other names to look out for are Stevenage Borough's Ronnie Henry, grandson of Ron Henry who was the left-back in Spurs' double winning side of 1961, Paul Jones, who kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford for Exeter in last year's FA Cup, and Shane Blackett, who is Dagenham & Redbridge's player of the year.
England will attempt to retain the Four Nations title after they won all three games in last year's tournament.
