We're delighted to announce that Thea C. and Nick R. have been selected for this year's Mercian Marauders (Midlands) U13 squads!

The Mercian Marauders is the Midlands regional hockey team, providing an incredible opportunity for talented U13 players to experience performance-level hockey.

After four full-day trials with over 230 boys and girls competing, Thea and Nick have successfully made it to the final 36 players. The level of talent on display during the trials was exceptional, making their selection a truly remarkable achievement.

This summer, they will represent the Mercian Marauders at the UK Lions tournaments held at the Nottingham Hockey Centre.

The UK Lions tournament features the very best U13 players from across the UK and Ireland, competing in an event that mirrors a residential international tournament over three days.

Wishing them the best of luck in the tournaments!
