Four Scots in Great Britain women training camp

Great Britain women’s hockey Head Coach Danny Kerry has
named a 24 athlete squad for a pre-Christmas training camp in San
Diego next month, including Scotland’s Laura Bartlett, Vikki Bunce,
Emily Maguire and Abi Walker.

The two week trip to California will see Great Britain undertake
warm weather training and play a series of five matches against
fellow Olympic Games qualifiers USA.

Kerry said, “We are looking forward to our training and test
matches in San Diego against the USA.  The USA team is
dynamic, hard working and to a player they are all competitors
which will lead to keenly contested matches.  The USA come off
the back of defeating Argentina in the Pan Am finals and will bring
that experience and confidence to the test series.

“For the first time in this Olympic cycle, the trip allows the
Great Britain team to compete in a test series overseas. 
Having missed out on selection through injury in the summer, a
number of players also get an opportunity.  We will continue
to develop our level of team play and train hard between the
matches.  The relative warmth of San Diego compared to a
British winter will also guarantee us a good two week training
environment.”

The team departs for San Diego on Monday 5 December with matches
due to take place during the second week.
