Scotland women to face Wales in Durham

Scotland women are back in action and will play a three-match series against Wales this weekend at the Graham Sports Centre, Maiden Castle, in Durham.

The uncapped games will be played at 4pm on Sunday 29 May; 4pm on Monday 30 May; and 12pm on Tuesday 31 May, and sees the Scots return to the pitch after a great run of recent performances.

Scotland come into the match in great form having beaten Wales twice in a test series already this year with two 2-0 wins; on the back of winning two of the three matches in a series against Ireland in Belfast.

The matches come as part of Scotland’s preparations for this summer’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and the EuroHockey Championships qualifier in Dunkirk.

At the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham Scotland has been drawn in Women’s Pool B with Australia; New Zealand; South Africa; and Kenya.

Straight after the Commonwealth Games the Scots head to Dunkirk for a EuroHockey Championships qualifier, where they will compete for a place at the top table of European hockey.

At the tournament Scotland will take on France; Switzerland and Austria on 24-27 August.
