Five Scots selected for Great Britain women’s squad

Five Scots have been selected by Great Britain Head Coach Jason Lee for the senior women’s international prorgramme.

London 2012 Olympic Bronze Medallist Emily Maguire is joined in the squad of twenty-nine players by Ali Bell, Amy Gibson, Nikki Kidd and Morag McLellan.

The coaching team and athletes will spend the next four years preparing for and building up to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Speaking about the road ahead, Lee is eager to start working with his full-time centralised team of coaches and athletes, “The new squad represents a very healthy blend of exciting young talent, those athletes who have already experienced an Olympic cycle and a small group of experienced and world class athletes who understand very well the rigours of Olympic preparation.”

Great Britain Performance Director Danny Kerry added, “Our centralised programme remains cutting edge and will allow the very best preparation of the squad over the coming cycle. I would like to thank the on-going support of the National Lottery and its key role in supporting the funding of performance sport, UK Sport and the EIS in its custodianship of our high performance Olympic sport system.”
