In the past we have had some great success, with two of our recent graduates now excelling through our England Talent Day, on to the regional talent hub and now selected to  emerging talent camp.

Both Alec Mee (Deaf impairment) and Oliver Moore (Cerebral Palsy) came through our England Talent Day in 2016 and have now been invited to attend an emerging talent camp to select the new U17’s development squads for their respective impairments. We at the LRCFA wish them all the best.
