WESTERN Klick Photopoint, the Scottish women's indoor hockey
champions, will provide no fewer than nine members of Scotland's
national training squad of 25 this winter. Edinburgh Ladies, Western's
great rivals in the indoor arena, will have seven representatives in the
squad, which contains an excellent blend of youth and experience.
Coach Niall Sturrock has clearly left no stone unturned in his search
for new talent. The inclusion of the likes of Fiona McInness, Rhona
Burton, Elaine Brown, and Louise Burton, Scotland's under-21 player of
the year last season, demonstrates the wealth of young talent now coming
through the ranks. The full training squad is:
Sue Lawrie (Ealing), Helen Glass (Boroughmuir), Tracy Robb, Elaine
Brown, Margaret Barbour, Ellen Murray, Ann Menzies, Marjorie Coutts,
Wendy Fraser, Susan Fraser, Susan MacDonald (all Western Klick
Photopoint), Sharon Bisset, Elaine Cooper, Janet Jack, Pauline
Robertson, Louise Burton, Diane Thorburn, Caroline Howard (all Edinburgh
Ladies), Alison Christie, Carol Muir (both Perthshire), Rhona Simpson,
Fiona McInnes (both Heriot-Watt SCPE), Audrey Syme (Grove), Gail
Johnston (Hyndland), Carrie Corcoran (Burts Melrose).
The leading scorers in domestic competitions this season are:

Wanderers); 9 -- Donald McFarlane (Grange); 8 -- Jon Taylor (Stirling),
David Magee (Kelburne); 7 -- Billy Anderson (Kelburne), Paul Doney

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
