Celebrating our members: Jenny Wright selected for Wales Over 40s Squad

Carlisle Women's 1st XI striker makes national selection for the second year running.

Jenny Wright, of Carlisle Hockey Club, has been selected for the Over 40s squad representing Wales for the second successive year this summer.

After attending three sets of highly competitive trials between October 2022 and January 2023, Jenny travelled to Gibraltar in April where the Welsh team played Europa Hockey (Gibraltar League Champions) and the Gibraltar national team.

The 1st team striker impressed selectors, and has now been selected for the playing squad for the Home Nations Tournament which is on home ground in Swansea this year. The tournament takes place this weekend (2nd – 4th June), and the team will face England, Ireland and Scotland O40s.

In preparation for the Home Nations, the Welsh team also travelled to Woking for a final warm up tournament against London Regional, Wales O35s and Woking 1st XI.

We wish Jenny the best of luck and congratulate her on this amazing achievement!
