Six Scots selected for GB Women’s EDP
Six Scots have been selected for the 2023 GB Women’s Elite Development Programme (EDP).
Jess Buchanan; Emily Dark; Sophie Hinds; Eve Pearson; Bronwyn Shields; and Ellie Wilson were all named on the programme amongst a total of 32 have been selected for the squad.
The group includes several players already capped at senior international level, including all the Scottish athletes, with Bronwyn Shields, Eve Pearson and Ellie Wilson having competed in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham for Scotland last summer.
The 2023 programme kicks in in February with the inaugural Women’s Pathway Camp at Lilleshall.
This innovative camp will see players from Great Britain Senior and EDP squads come together with U16 and 18 players from all Home Nations.
The three days will be a combination of activity both on and off pitch and promises to be a fantastic showpiece of Great Britain’s female hockey talent.
Bringing together a group in the region of 100 players will provide an exciting opportunity for up-and-coming junior players to learn from the likes of Laura Unsworth and Hollie Pearne-Webb.
