THE sporting talent of two sisters at Flixton Girls School has earned them international recognition.

Jessica and Reagan Wallworth have been selected for the England U16s rounders squad.

Their recognition came after teaching staff Rebecca Croniken and Danielle Tedford took it upon themselves to show their students’ skills further afield.

The teachers decided to act following the school's winning success at rounders during both 2015 and 2016.

They escorted students to the England Under 16 rounders trials which were held at the Corby Academy, Northamptonshire - and that led to the sisters' selection.

Jessica said of their selection: ‘When we opened the email we both screamed with happiness. We are looking forward to some more hard work and training.’

Both girls commence training with the squad over the coming weeks.
