England Hockey select KES student
King Edward’s School student Eugene Malthouse has been selected to represent the England U18 hockey squad.
Malthouse, who was captain of KES 1st XI hockey team this season and a member of Bath Buccs 1st Xi National League side, will join the England squad on Wednesday to play a three test match series in Germany this weekend. On returning from Germany the KES superstar is then scheduled to travel to Ireland to play in the Home Nations Tournament later this month.
Malthouse, who will earn his 1st international cap this weekend, will also play a key role in England’s short corner attack as their number one drag flick specialist.
Louisa Gwilliam, Director of Sport at King Edward’s School, commented that “Eugene Malthouse is first KES student to play hockey for England and his selection is just reward for all of his hard work and effort over recent years. He is a credit to the school and we wish him every success this summer.”
