At the EuroHockey Championships in Ghent on 24-30 July Scotland feature alongside top-ranked competition in Belgium; the Netherlands; Germany; England; France; Russia; and Spain, with the top six reaching the World Cup.

Head Coach Graham Moodie said, ‘Following exams we’ve had a decent month of training together and we’re looking forward to seeing what progress we have made.  Wales will be a good test and starts the main games phase of our programme.’
