Matt Whitehead and David Wheeler are hoping to win their first caps in this evening's England Schools FA Carnegie Centenary Shield fixture against Wales.

The game is the first in what is effectively a Home Nations championship involving England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Tonight's match at Boston United comes just two weeks after a half term summer camp at Villareal in Spain, where the side lost 2-0 to the Spanish side's youth team, whilst on the 27 March, England entertain Northern Ireland at Macclesfield Town.

The remaining England fixtures on 17 April v Scotland, and 24 April v Republic of Ireland are both scheduled to be shown live on Sky Sports. There is also an Invitation match at Wembley against France on June 13th. More information, including ticket details is available here.

The Sussex FA are the most represented county in this season's squad, with Simon Johnson from Eastbourne Borough and James Norwood from Eastbourne Town also chosen to represent their country.
