A winner of various titles in his home county, Burlison finished runner-up in the South of England Boys Open Championship last year and represented England in the Italian under 16 Championship.
The pair also finished joint runners-up in the recent South of England Boys Open Championship at Yeovil and Sherborne in Dorset.
