Quipu TV to livestream Scotland vs SA test series
Scottish Hockey is delighted to announce that
Glasgow-based production company QuipuTV will be providing a live
online stream of five women’s hockey test matches between Scotland
and South Africa, beginning this Sunday 27 May at Clydesdale
Western Hockey Club in Glasgow.
QuipuTV’s internet TV coverage of the matches will be globally
available through the websites of Scottish Hockey and South African
Hockey Association. The live coverage will be free-to-air, with a
VoD of each match available shortly after for $0.99 USD.
Although in 18th position, currently six places below South
Africa in the world rankings, Scotland will provide tough
opposition for the tourists as part of their pre-Olympic UK tour
and in fact beat South Africa 2-0 in their test series last
July.
Stuart Moffatt, Communications & PR Officer, Scottish Hockey
said:
“Scotland’s women have been on an upward curve recently,
recording a bronze medal at the FIH Champions Challenge and winning
the EuroHockey Nations Championsip II last summer. We’re looking
forward to seeing them compete with South Africa and excited that
QuipuTV can take these matches to a national and global
audience.”
Jack McGill, managing director of QuipuTV, added:
“It’s fantastic to be able to provide a platform for Scottish
hockey to be seen around the world and we’re inviting all hockey
fans to be part of our coverage through Twitter (#SASCOhockey) and
Facebook.”
All five matches will be played on the new international pitch
at Clydesdale’s Titwood ground and the first match will also mark
the official opening of the new facilities at Clydesdale, led by
Scottish sports broadcaster Alison Walker.
The opening of the new facilities will be attended by
representatives of a wide range of sports funding bodies,
headed by Councillor Archie Graham, chair of Glasgow City’s
Commonwealth Games committee.
Following the opening match on May 27, starting at 2.30pm, the
other games are scheduled for May 28, May 30, June 1, and June
2.
Viewers can access the webcasts at the Quipu TV website and
Scottish Hockey website.
