England make one change from the side that lifted the trophy last year for next Tuesday's Seniors Home Internationals at Seaton Carew.

Patrick Garner, a former England cap from Sunningdale, joins the team for the four-sided encounter.

Garner made his England debut in the Home Internationals at Hillside in 1978 and also played in the following two years, making 13 appearances overall.

He joins a formidable line-up that will be captained for the second successive year by Roy Smethurst.

The Crewe man has twice won the English Seniors Championship, while Douglas Arnold, English champion for the past two years, is also named along with two other ex-champions, David Lane and Jon Marks.

The other England members are Andrew Morrison and Anthony Smith. The sides will play each other on a round-robin basis, each match consisting of two foursomes and five singles.

The full England team is: Roy Smethurst (Captain) (Crewe), Douglas Arnold (Copthorne),Patrick Garner (Sunningdale) David Lane (Goring & Streatley), Jonathan Marks (Woodbridge), Andrew Morrison (Appleby), Anthony Smith (Hill Valley).

* Golf legend Seve Ballesteros has turned to Geordie Stuart Smith to help resurrect his fading career.

Smith has been working with Ballesteros' compatriots Jose Maria Olazabal and Miguel Angel Jimenez for some time and was contacted by the Spanish golfer a fortnight ago.

Seve hopes the former Newbiggin amateur can help get him out of his current slump.
