Nine Players Selected in England Squads Ahead of 2026 Euros

Nine Invicta Touch players have been selected in England Touch training squads ahead of the European Touch Championships, which will take place in Vichy in France next July.

Following strong showings in the uncapped European Opens and Seniors cups this summer, nine Invicta players have been included for the beginning of England’s 2026 Euros campaign.

In the opens divisions, Alice Summers and Lydia Ticehurst are in the women’s training squad with Gus Lister and Vaughn Meredith in the men’s squad.

We’re also well represented in the masters divisions with Suz Wilson in the women’s over-40s, Dan Dyer in the men’s 45s, Adrian Riggs in the men’s 50s, and Spencer Nye and Martin Reynard in the men’s 55s. In addition, Invicta’s Eddie French is assistant coach for the men’s 50s.

All of England’s adult squads met in Cheltenham at the weekend for a two-day induction and training camp. There will be further camps each month through the winter before the current expanded squads are reduced to the final touring squads of 16 plus reserves at the beginning of May.
