Age is no barrier to sport. Hockey truly is a sport for all. A fantastic achievement for these ladies with a win vs Scotland providing the highlight of the weekend.
Thanks to Sportin Wales for telling their story.
Big news for Welsh hockey. 🏑
£530,000 has been confirmed for hockey facilities across Wales through the Sport Wales Collaboration Group — secured as part of a £1.32m capital funding pot shared across football, rugby and hockey.
This is what years of groundwork, partnership and persistence look like. More pitches. More access. More hockey. 🏴

We love seeing this kind of energy from our clubs.
Hockey really is a far for all ages and abilities, and it’s great to see these opportunities for more people to get involved and stay active.
The Be Active Wales Grant is making a real difference by providing much needed resources that help clubs grow, connect and offer inclusive, welcoming hockey experiences.
Fantastic work by everyone involved and thank you to Sport Wales and The National Lottery Community Fund for their support.

Hoci Cymru was delighted to attend and deliver at the @royalwelshshow last month, bringing together so many people to enjoy the sport!🏑
Across the event's four days, over 2000 people engaged with hockey activities - from skills in the ring to fun games via the inflatable dart board and speed cage. It was fantastic to see and talk to so many clubs and individuals throughout our time there.
We'd like to offer a huge thank you to all of our Young Ambassadors and coaches who helped throughout the week, as well as @BridgendLHC for their support.
