MARLBOROUGH'S newly-crowned English Boys champion Ben Amor is among three new caps named in the England team that will defend the Boys Home Internationals at Forest Pines, Lincolnshire, next week (August 6-8).

The 18 year old, who attended Filton College in Bristol, has come through this season, finishing equal seventh in the McEvoy Trophy and second in the individual ranking in the South West Group Boys Qualifying.
After his win in the Carris Trophy he leads the Titleist/FootJoy England Golf Boys Order of Merit.
The rest of the team is: Robert Burlison (Oxley Park, Staffordshire), Adam Chapman (Windermere, Cumbria), Harry Ellis (Meon Valley, Hampshire, IoW & CI), Bobby Keeble (Crowlands Heath, Essex), Bradley Moore (Kedleston Park, Derbyshire), Marco Penge (Worthing, Sussex), Jack Singh Brar (Brokenhurst Manor, Hampshire, IoW &CI) and Ashton Turner (Kenwick Park, Lincolnshire).
