Scotland U21 men to play England at Lilleshall

Scotland U21 Men v Wales 2016

Scotland U21 Men will travel to Lilleshall on Monday to play two matches against England U21. The games will be played on Tuesday 20th September at 5pm and Wednesday 21st September at 11am.

There is a good mix of youth and experience within the squad.  Four players (Callum MacKenzie, Joe Waterston, Cammy Golden & Aidan McQuade) join the squad after competing, and winning bronze, at the U18s EuroHockey Youth Championship II tournament in Glasgow this summer. They are joined by four of the six U21 players (Gordon Amour, Patrick Christie, Lee Morton & Jamie Wong) that represented Scotland in the recent World League 1, also held in Glasgow. Unfortunately Ed Greaves and Hamish Imrie are unavailable due to club and work commitments abroad.

Murray Collins and Robbie Shepherdson are also in the squad, both of whom have represented Scotland Seniors over the summer but were unavailable for the Spain test matches in July.

Scotland Men U21 Head Coach Graham Moodie said: “Due to the Senior Men’s involvement in World League up until last week we have had limited preparation for the games at Lilleshall as a squad, however we are taking a strong squad with a lot of potential.  England U21 are a top side who will be expecting to do well at the Junior World Cup in India in December and this will therefore be a great test for our guys.

“Our clear focus will be on our performances over the two games and using these games to build on the positive steps forward we made in Spain in July.”
