The women’s side will take on USA, Korea, and Uruguay in pool play, with preparations including an international tour to Japan in October.
This selection is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Ri and Kate, and we know the Wellington hockey community will be cheering them on proudly as they wear the fern in Chile.
