A COUNTY teenager has been selected for the Independent Schools Football Association’s (ISFA) South Under-16s representative squad.

Seb Lawson, who lives in St Owen’s Cross, near Ross on Wye, will feature against Essex Schools at Chigwell School on Sunday after impressing in trials at Eton College.

The Monmouth School for Boys' student was selected for Newport County Under 15s Academy last season and enjoyed a successful tour in the Czech Republic.

The attacking player was also part of Monmouth School for Boys’ Under-15 team who were unbeaten during the last campaign and finished third in the National Schools Football Performance League for independent schools.

“I am extremely proud of Seb’s footballing progress,” said Master in Charge of Football at Monmouth School for Boys, Mark Tamplin.

“If Seb continues to work hard and puts in a performance of which he is capable, I am sure that he will remain on course for a place in the full ISFA national squad.”
