Alan Forsyth, Sarah Robertson and Amy Costello selected in final GB matches ahead of Tokyo

Scotland’s Alan Forsyth; Sarah Robertson and Amy Costello have been named in Great Britain’s squads for their final matches ahead of this summer’s Olympics.

Following on from last week’s thrilling double header against Germany, the men will take on Spain while the women face the USA at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre on 22-23 May. Please note that the timings for these games have changed; the men will now begin proceedings at 13:00 on Saturday and 12:00 on Sunday, with the women following on at 15:30 and 14:30 respectively.

Alan Forsyth is in line to make his 50th appearance for Great Britain if he features in either game.

Meanwhile, women’s head coach Mark Hager has selected also a squad of 19 to take on the Americans. The only change to the squad originally announced for last week’s fixtures against Germany is the absence of Scotland’s Charlotte Watson, who was unavailable for those games due to an injury that also rules her out of this double header.

The squads will then separate into their Home Nations ahead of the EuroHockey Championships, which take place in The Netherlands between 4-13 June.

After the conclusion of that tournament, they will return to Bisham Abbey to continue their preparations ahead of the Olympic Games, with Great Britain’s men beginning their campaign against South Africa at 10:00 on Saturday 23 July before the women follow suit against Germany at 01:00 on Sunday 24 July.
