Viktor Stoyanov (in the U18 category), Luca Buanne and Sohum Lohia (both U12) will fly the flag in a 9-round online tournament this weekend.

The English team – made of the top 3 juniors in the country in each age category (U12, U14, U16, U18), will play on the Tornelo platform.

Games will be video-enabled and under arbiter supervision to ensure fair play, in the Holiday Inn in Kenilworth.
