Scotland U21 men travel to Walcz for Poland test series
Scotland U21 men will play Poland U21 men this weekend in a two-match test series at the Polish Olympic Centre at Walcz.
The first test match will be played on Saturday 25th August at 17:00 before the two sides meet again the following day, also at 17:00.
With five U21 players selected for the Scotland Senior Men’s team for Hockey Series Open in Lousada, plus some injuries, the staff has called up seven U18 players following their successful European promotion earlier this summer.
Poland were promoted and also defeated Scotland in U21 EuroHockey Championship II in St Petersburg last summer, so the Scots are looking forward to two tough test matches. It’s exciting for such a young team with high potential compete in these matches, and it is a contest the players will learn a lot from throughout the series.
