MARLBOROUGH'S Ben Amor will spearhead England Men's A team's bid to regain the Costa Ballena International Quadrangular tournament in Spain next month.

Amor, 20, was  in England’s winningteam in 2014 and last season was runner up in the Darwin Salver and led the southern qualifiers for the Brabazon Trophy, where he went on to finish 15th.

England's six-strong team will aim to retain the trophy on January 20-22, with Will Enefer of Shropshire, Scott Gregory of Hampshire, Josh Hilleard of Somerset, Will Whiteoak of Yorkshire and Andrew Wilson of Durham also in the line-up.

The Costa Ballena competition is played on a round robin basis against teams from Finland, Germany and the hosts, Spain. England won the tournament in 2014 and were only beaten in a title decider on the final day last year.
