Cippenham's Rachael Iles made her senior international debut for England during the Home Nations Championships in Dublin over the weekend. Rachael was originally selected for the junior girl's team  but a withdrawal saw her promoted to the senior women's team instead.

​

Rachael's partner in that team was Ella Pashley and together they took the silver medal by being runners-up up their section. Rachael has led the way for Cippenham in both the Women's British Clubs League and the Premier Division of the Youth British Clubs League this season and has seen her ranking positions elevate to number four in the national girl's list and nine in the seniors.

​

Rachael's Cippenham teammate in the Youth British Clubs League, Alyssa Nguyen, also featured for England in the cadet girls' team. Hailing from Plymouth, Alyssa was signed up to replace the overage Anna Piercey in the Cippenham team for this season. During the weekend Alyssa led her England team to gold in the team event and then in the individual events earned the silver medal in both cadet events, singles and doubles.
