Jack Hiluta, who starred in last year’s matches, has been selected to captain England in the Boys Home Internationals at Machnynys Peninsula in Wales on 7th – 9th August.
The 18 year old from Essex recorded five wins from his six matches on his debut as a boy cap a year ago at Moray as Scotland ended England’s run of eight successive victories in the annual event.
Hiluta (pictured left – photo courtesy of Tom Ward), from Chelmsford Golf Club, was naturally delighted. "It’s been one of my goals to captain England so I’m delighted to have been selected," he said. "My aim now is to lead the side in Wales and get back the trophy we lost last year."
A former under 16 international, Hiluta represented Essex in the Boys County Finals at Little Aston in 2005 and has been a member of the England under 18 squad for the past two years.
This year, he has represented the EGU in a quadrangular match in South Africa and in the Thunderbird Junior International in the United States as well as reaching the last 16 of the Spanish Amateur Championship.
He was also a member of the England team that finished runners-up to Denmark in the European Boys Team Championships in Denmark earlier this month.
