PERSHORE High School pupil Maeghan Brown has shrugged off a nasty accident to be selected by Wales for the third year running in the Pony Club Polocrosse Home International.

The 15-year-old will take part in the competition at the Celyn club on July 22 and 23 at their Backford grounds in Cheshire.

A school spokesman said: “This is a massive achievement for Maeghan as it comes after a horrific accident earlier this year when she was kicked in the face by a horse that was not her own.

“She has and will continue to have treatment for many years to repair the damage and she is very lucky to still be riding.”
