OLDHAM star Nicola White has been named in England coach Danny Kerry’s 18-strong squad for next week’s European championships.
World-class international hockey returns to London for the 2015 Unibet EuroHockey Championships (Friday-August 30). The tournament showcases the best eight men’s and women’s teams in Europe.
The England squad shows two changes from the Great Britain squad that recently won Olympic qualification in Valencia. Emily Maguire will represent Scotland, her replacement being Sam Quek, back in the side for the first time since the Champions Trophy in December.
Kate Richardson-Walsh, who captains the side, has 48 international goals for England and Great Britain combined, so could reach a half century at the tournament.
