Hockey:Herbert plays for England again

Hockey:Herbert plays for England again

Making her second consecutive appearance for the senior side, the 17-year-old Jersey schoolgirl played for all but about ten minutes of the game, first at central and then at right midfield.Although England lost by the same score as the night before – 3-2 – a reporter at the ground said that, what is effectively the England B string (the A string are competing in Australia) played extremely well and did not disgrace themselves against Japan who are ranked tenth in the world.Beckie’s father Tim said this morning that his daughter had enjoyed the game and was pleased to have played for most of it.’She was quite bubbly when I spoke to her last night, which is always a good sign!’Over the coming months Herbert will have the opportunity to consolidate but in terms of senior selection will, realistically, have a bit of a wait for her next call-up.
