Scotland women’s squad to face Wales this weekend
Scotland women are back in action this weekend as they take on Wales at Bowdon Hockey Club in Altrincham.
The uncapped two-match series will see the teams take to the pitch at 16:30 on Saturday and 12:00 on Sunday for two action packed contests.
Scotland won two of the three matches in last weekend’s series against Ireland in Belfast and head to play Wales in good form.
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.
