Tartan Trilogy – A Summer of Scottish Hockey

It’s a summer of Scottish Hockey as Scotland’s women’s and men’s international teams welcome top-class international opposition to Glasgow in a Tartan Trilogy of three-match challenge series’.

There are three trophies up for grabs at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre as Scotland women face Ireland and Italy, while Scotland men play USA, each in a ‘best of three’ contest for silverware.

The matches will come fresh from the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games where both squads are representing Scotland against top international competition on the world stage.

The Tartan Trilogy sets off in motion another phase of top international hockey for the Scotland squads. It’s also a great chance for the home support to cheer on Scotland’s best players, including Gold Coast 2018 athletes, in the flesh on home turf.

Ireland and Italy will both compete at the Hockey World Cup in London this year and come to Glasgow ahead of the tournament to face tough opposition in Scotland.

Scotland women also have a home tournament on the horizon and the Tartan Trilogy starts off a process that will eventually lead to the EuroHockey Championship II in Glasgow 2019.

2017 was an incredible year for Scotland’s men’s hockey team. The Blue Sticks will be looking to carry their exceptional form from last year, where the team won EuroHockey Championship II and qualified for the World League semi-final, into 2018.
