Whitburn players who were capped at Junior level
Throughout the years Whitburn has contributed a number of players to the Scotland Junior international team. This team obviously has a much lower profile than the national team, but gaining a cap is just as important (if not more so) to junior players. The reason for this is twofold - there is more competition for places since there are more junior players and the team only plays a handful of games each season compared to the senior team.
Details are pretty sketchy since the exploits of the junior team do not gain much exposure in the national press. It is hoped that through time more details can be provided. Anyone who can provide information such as omissions, numbers of caps, years, etc, please contact me by email.
