A PLAYER from Bromsgrove Hockey Club formed part of a history-making Wales over-70s squad on the international stage at the Four Nations tournament.
Bromsgrove player Babs Knight featured as part of the squad as Wales Women masters fielded an over-70s team for the first time.
The newly-formed team played games against LX Hockey Club, England and Scotland at Northern Ireland Civil Service Hockey Club in Belfast.
Wales started the tournament with a goalless draw against LX Hockey Club before losing 2-0 against eventual champions England.
However, Wales ended the tournament with a commanding 3-0 victory against Scotland.
Wales over-70s head coach, Hilary Williams said: “To see these women step onto the pitch in a Wales shirt for the first time at this level is truly special.
“Their commitment has been incredible.
“Every training session has shown their determination, their humour, and their unwavering belief in what they are doing.
“They inspire not just each other, but everyone who sees them play.
“I am honoured to coach them. I am humbled by their spirit. I am endlessly proud to stand beside this team of true Welsh inspiration.”
The Wales over-70 squad will head to the masters World Cup in Brasschaat, Belgium from August 6 to 16.
