Scotland’s U18 sides step up preparations for forthcoming European challenges

Ulster and Czech Republic will provide the opposition for Scotland’s U18 Boys and Girls this weekend as both squads continue their preparations for forthcoming European competitions.
Scotland U18 Girls travel to Prague for three matches against the Czechs on 14-16 June. The Scots are working towards competing in the EuroHockey U18 Championship II in Santander, Spain early next month.
“The training camp and matches in Prague is the first opportunity for the squad to play as a group and play against a team who we may face at the Europeans”, said Scotland U18 Girls Head Coach Colin Clarke.
“We will continue to focus on the processes and the key areas that we have been working on at training. It will be an excellent learning opportunity for the players against physical opposition in a humid climate that will mirror what we will face in Spain in four weeks’ time.
“The girls have worked hard to maintain their physical condition during the exam period and we have had four training sessions prior to the Prague training camp. The coaching staff and players are looking forward to the camp to make further individual and squad improvements.”
Meanwhile, Scotland U18 Boys face three matches against Ulster in Jordanstown from 14-16 June with the EuroHockey U18 Championship at the end of July appearing on the horizon.
