Great Britain: GB U21 players ready to take on Sultan of Johor Cup challenge

An 18-strong men’s squad of under 21 players are putting the finishing touches to their preparations for the Sultan of Johor Cup. 

The six-day competition starts on 19 October as the GB team takes on the likes of India, Australia and New Zealand. 

The squad boasts 16 players from last year’s team that secured victory for the fourth time in the tournament’s 13-year history.

The tournament will also provide new players with an excellent development opportunity to experience large crowds, tournament hockey and non-European opposition.

Head Coach Jon Bleby said: “The Sultan of Johor Cup is a fantastic competition for players to compete against world-class non-European teams in an environment that is brilliant for the players to learn & develop.

“We are returning champions and it’s fantastic to bring 16 players back from that squad to compete again.

“Our focus will be on executing our game plan, taking it match-by-match with the goal of achieving our best as a team.”
