They are not the only young players making an impression as numerous members of the Canterbury squad have won representative honours this month. The latest are Will Calder and Gabriel Hayden who have been selected for the London and South East side for the forthcoming regional Championship. Will and Gabriel are also playing for Kent in the national counties championship together with Ben Ashdown, Tom Fright and Adrian Paul Geddes. The good news does not stop there as Kennedy Sylvester and Harry Legg are both currently playing for Saracens in the U18s Premiership league.
