Cumbrian duo Jarrad Branthwaite and James Trafford helped England Under-20s to an emphatic win today.
They both played in the 5-0 victory against the Czech Republic.
Goalkeeper Trafford and defender Branthwaite both started the game in Teplice.
And they contributed to a clean sheet for Andy Edwards' Young Lions.
Everton's former Carlisle United defender Branthwaite, from Wigton, played the full game at the heart of England's defence.
Manchester City prospect Trafford, from Greysouthen, was substituted in the second half as the visitors saw out a comfortable victory.
It was the keeper's second Under-20s outing in five days after he played in a 1-1 draw against Italy last Thursday.
Strikes by Miguel Azeez, Jay Stansfield, Faustino Anjorin, James Hill and own goal by Martin Suchomel completed the rout.
