WESPAC 2023: England representatives announced

News from Wayne Kelly on England's WESPAC player selections.

The ABSP are now please to announce the 14 players to play for England in the 2023 WESPA Championship in Las Vegas in July.

Initially, the players rated over 160 were canvassed for opinion and I am glad to say we did not have to go beyond that this time. The players are:

  • Harshan Lamabadusuriya

  • Lewis Mackay

  • Wayne Kelly

  • Elie Dangoor

  • Jason Carney

  • Bob Violett

  • Jack NM Moran

  • Femi Awowade

  • Natalie Zolty

  • John Ashmore

  • ANdy Goodwin

  • Donna Stanton

  • Stewart Houten

  • Jared Jonathon Robinson

Additionally, both Mark Nyman and Brett Smitheram qualify automatically as past World Championship winners.

Unfortunately, there are no representatives for Wales, currently. The one person interested in representing Wales has had to withdraw, so any players from Wales or who are eligible to play for Wales, please contact Wayne Kelly as you are likely to get a place if you wish to play.

Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own associations to choose their qualifiers and will announce in due course.
