Robertson; Costello and Watson selected for GB women tests against India
It has been announced today that Sarah Robertson; Amy Costello and Charlotte Watson have been selected for Great Britain’s two Tests against India.
The trio form part of a 20-strong squad that will play matches at Bisham Abbey on 1 and 2 October, with the team for a third fixture on 4 October to be announced later this week.
Charlotte Watson will play her first games for GB on home soil, having made her debut during a tour of Japan back in July. She is one of three Scots included in the team alongside Amy Costello and Sarah Robertson, all of whom played in their nation’s impressive EuroHockey Championships II title win in Glasgow last month that saw them promoted to the top tier for 2021.
These matches will form a crucial part of both teams’ preparations for the upcoming FIH Olympic Qualifiers, with Great Britain’s women taking on Chile at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre on 2-3 November as they bid to reach Tokyo 2020.
