Royal Cromer's Amber Ratcliffe has been called-up to the England squad for the French Lady Junior Championship at St Cloud, near Paris, from April 5-9.

The 16-year-old has already enjoyed much success on the international scene but will be relishing the opportunity to test herself against much more experienced players. The championship is contested by the cream of Europe's U21 golfers and England players have a fine record in the event, with two wins and a success in the U18 event in the past five years.
