Rostron is very optimistic ahead of the event and believes that this team will be competitive at the #HWL2017. Rostron’s confidence in his team shows in his interview for SuperSport Blitz, explaining his intentions and expectations for the women he has selected. Catch this interview, as well as men’s coach Fabian Gregory’s, on SuperSport Blitz, Channel 200, from 21 June 2017.
The coach has identified the importance of this tournament and what it means for SA hockey and their world ranking positions. Rostron is hoping to earn back the world ranking points that were lost due to missing out on the Olympic.
Very few nations have had the opportunity to host both men and women at the same venue during the same time. This event at Wits Hockey Club, again demonstrates SAHA’s object to amplify the gender amazing aspect of the sport amongst the other objectives of accessibility, professionalism, event experience and revolutionising hockey in South Africa. Hosting events on home soil plays into our cost management strategy due to the funding challenges of national teams traveling abroad.
With all one hundred and thirty two matches from the FIH World League Semi Finals will be broadcast live on SuperSport, there’s no excuse to miss out on the action.
Private Property is proud to be a sponsor of the South African Women’s Hockey team and wish the team the best for the tournament.
