Under 16's Take European Title
Scotland Under-16s have pulled off a shock triumph to win the European Youth Rugby League Festival, beating Russia 14-0 in the final in Germany this afternoon. Scotland, coached by former Scotland international and Castleford Tigers full-back Jason Flowers, reached the final with a 22-4 win over the host nation in Baden-Württemberg on Friday. Russia had beaten Serbia in their semi-final. It is success at the first attempt for Flowers' newly-formed squad, which is the culmination of the recently-launched Scotland Rugby League Player Development Centre. The victory continues an outstanding August for Scottish rugby league, with Scotland A finishing runners-up in the Four Nations Championship and Scotland Under-18s beating England Colleges.
Scotland U16 squad: Ewan Grindley, Gavin Reed, Mitchell Scott, Carwyn Walker (all Aberdeen Spartans); George Watt (Deeside); Gary Doherty, Jason Haggarty, Fraser Mctaggart, Stephen Sleery (all Easterhouse Panthers); Gregor Ramsay, Calum Rennie, Craig Reid (all Falkirk Romans); Connor Edwards, Andrew Pollock (both Fife); Sinclair Matthews (Jarrow Vikings and Leeds Rhinos Academy); Daniel Godfrey, Cameron Hughes (both Moray Titans); Ryan McKeown, Kristofer Walker (both Victoria Knights); Craig Allan (Wallsend Eagles)
