St Albans Hockey Club player coach Hannah Macleod is currently with Great Britain women’s hockey team in Valencia for this month’s World League competition.
Macleod has 116 international caps for England and Great Britain, winning bronze at London 2012.
She has just completed her first season in charge of the St Albans ladies’ first team as the club expands and pushes for promotion to the National League Premier Division, a league in which Macleod secured three championship-winning medals with Leicester before joining the Tangerines.
Alongside a busy international summer schedule Macleod has already run several summer sessions for the St Albans squad and prospective new recruits.
She also took time out to lend a hand with youngsters at the recent club day at Oaklands.
Great Britain start their campaign with a game against Spain before taking on Argentina.
A good showing in the competition, which starts tomorrow is an important stepping stone for the team in their quest to qualify for next year’s Rio Olympics.
