England Manager Steve McAlister has named his teams for the first British Isles Championships with him in the hot seat. The championships are being hosted by England this year and will take place at Scarborough IBC on the 29th and 30th January. Norfolk is well represented in the squad with Wymondham’s Jack Pye and East Tuddenham’s Chris Willies selected for the England Premier team in the International event. David Lamb of Halvergate, Simon Willies of East Tuddenham and Bob Carter’s Jason Woods have been selected for the England “A” side.
