Playing for your country is the highest honour for any athlete and now Great Britain Hockey internationals will have a physical reward for this thanks to The Hockey Museum.

With little statistical data previously existing in the sport, a number of years ago they decided to begin the project of creating a definitive record of Great Britain international matches that would allow caps to be awarded and individual player numbers to be calculated.

Over the last five years a number of dedicated individuals have worked tirelessly to log the nearly 1,000 matches played by Great Britain's men and women and identify all 581 players to have so far worn the shirt in an official international fixture.

This work has led to these coveted GB caps being presented to Sue Chandler, Cath Gilliat-Smith and Jane Smith, who all started their playing careers here at Sevenoaks HC.

After playing junior hockey at Sevenoaks both Sue and Cath have returned to the club in coaching and playing capacities respectively.

The club is very proud of the outstanding achievements of these 3 players and are delighted to see them rewarded with the presentation of these caps.
