Farnham Roller Hockey Club's under-17s female team will compete in the Eurockey International Tournament in Spain after being founded a year ago.
Farnham Roller Hockey Club's under-17s female team will compete at the Eurockey International Tournament in Blanes and Lloret de Mar, Spain, marking the club's first European appearance. The team was established last season alongside a senior female Premier League team.
In their debut year, the under-17s won the Eastern Counties female league competition. This success, combined with a 'strong' application, secured them a place at the tournament, according to the club. Lucy Collis, who coached the squad, said the experience of 'playing together on the European stage for the first time is a major moment'.
Rebecca Dorta, the team's social media manager, told BBC Radio Surrey that roller hockey is 'quite a niche sport'. She highlighted the significance of Farnham's participation: 'It's great to see the girls and the sport flourish like this.' The club's coaches are focused on player development, with Dorta emphasising that they want 'the girls to ultimately enjoy the experience'.
