Road to Worlds - GB U23 Open

The GB U23s Open squads’ road to Toronto 2013 started in mid-October 2012 with invitational trials followed by several rounds of call-backs over the following months culminating in the 26 man strong squad being announced mid-March. The squad is incredibly experienced with a lot of the gents coming up through the GB U20 and U17 programs, alongside playing at the highest levels with their club teams for many years.
