Ashville College has achieved further rugby union success after four students were selected for the Under-18 Yorkshire 'A' team.

Tosin Ajayi, Oliver Lees, Michael Nwadinobi and Ben Pease from Ashville College, a Harrogate-based, independent day and boarding school for girls and boys aged four to 18 years, have already played in two games against Lancashire 'A' and a Nottingham/ Lincolnshire/Derby XV.

In only 15 months, Tosin and Michael who had never played rugby before, and Oliver and Ben who have had to play in new postions, have performed well enough to catch the selector's eye.
