Buckswood county call-ups
Rye Rugby Club duo Joe Morell and Lee Bailey have been called up for Sussex under-17s, and Harlequins Academy member and Cranbrook player Luke Phillips is in the Kent under-15s party.
Joe is a very skilful centre and a typical New Zealander blessed with speed, strength and incredible vision, while Lee is the school and club's British Bulldog - a No.2 who is very hard to stop and never gives up.

The Guestling-based school is also awaiting final word on the progress of its Colombian front-rower Sebastian Torrengra who was included in the Sussex under-14 development squad.
The call-ups would be a feather in the cap for any school, but for one with a total of only 150 boys this is an exceptional achievement. Coaching at Buckswood is provided by Rye Rugby Club.
