Senior Women head to Alicante to take on Spain
Our Senior Women fly out to Alicante on Saturday morning to face Spain in a 4 match test series. Following on from matches against Japan and Great Britain 23s the squad hope to take their good form into these matches. With a new and improving squad these matches are a great opportunity for the younger players to experience international hockey.
There are two girls in line to make their international debuts on this trip. Coach Gordon Shepherd has high hopes for both Sarah Jamieson and Lucy Lanigan and suggests they will be a great asset to the team.
The trip will also be a special one for Western Wildcats star Kareena Marshall as she is set to receive her 100th international cap which is a terrific achievement in any sport. Kareena has been a key player for Scotland for a number of years now taking part in the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi and the more recent European Championship in London in 2015.
We hope she continues to dominate the international stage and a huge congratulations from all at Scottish Hockey for reaching this mark.
Scotland’s matches will be on the following dates:
Monday 27th June- 18:30
Tuesday 28th June- 18:30
Thursday 30th June- 12:30
Friday 1st July- 12:30
