Women’s hockey – Wilson sees massive progress as Euros loom

Tickets for the Women’s EuroHockey Championship, Division Two, in Glasgow in August are now on sale.

The team aims to win promotion and return to the top tier of European field hockey in the tournament from August 4 to 10.

The top two from eight teams will qualify for the 2021 Women’s EuroHockey Nations Championship.

Scotland are in Pool B of the preliminary round which also includes Austria, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.

Coach Jen Wilson said home crowd advantage will be a key element in the squad’s efforts at Glasgow’s National Hockey Centre.

South African-born Wilson said: “I have seen massive progress in the squad.
“Many of our experienced players have shown the ability to adapt the way they play in order to progress.

“The newer players are bringing in fresh alternatives.”
