WEST HAM youth prospect Robert Hall celebrated his selection for the England under-16s squad with two goals for the Hammers Academy team at the weekend.
The 15-year-old thumped in two second half strikes for the under-18 team, as they eased to an impressive 3-0 victory at MK Dons on Saturday morning.
Ahmed Abdulla had opened the scoring early in the second half, before it became the Hall show.
Cristian Montano and Nick Barrett set him up for the opening goal, before the third was all his own work.
Hall turned on the edge of the area, before thumping in a superb shot to make it 3-0.
The youngster will travel to France early in April to take part in the prestigious under-16 competition - the Mont-aigu Tournament.
England, who won the Home International Victory Shield at the end of last year, will take on Russia, United Arab Emirates and Ivory Coast in their group section, the first match being on April 8.
If they can win the group they will come up against either France, Australia, Ger-many or Mali in the final.
The under-18s now face a gap until their next match when they will travel to Coventry City on April 18.
West Ham: Street, Smith, Driver (Werndley 80), Craig, McNaughton, Sanchez, Mon-tano, Barrett, Abdulla, Hall, Moncur (Subuola 70). Sub not used: Vose.
