THE domestic hockey season may be over, but for Surbiton’s Holly Munro is not taking a break as she bids for a Junior World Cup berth with England.

The 17-year-old won back-to-back Women’s Hockey League titles with Surbiton before donning the white of England U18s to beat Scotland 7-1 and 7-2, and the Scottish U21s 5-1.

And with July’s EuroHockey Championships in Cork still to prepare for, as well as hoping for a spot in England’s U21 side for the Junior World Cup, Munro admits her year is only just beginning.

“We’ve got another match against Germany coming up so that is something to look forward to,” she said.

“We have the Europeans in the summer with England which will be great, and then maybe I could make the squad for the junior World Cup in Chile as well – that would be amazing.

“I’m hoping to take on more of a leadership role at the Europeans. Having played last year I feel like I’ve got quite a lot of experience now and hopefully we can build on the bronze we won then.

“In terms of the junior World Cup, we’ll have to see. I’m going to university in September and there will be trials then as well.

“I’m also only 17 and it’s the U21 age category, but it’s a great opportunity and something to build towards.”

Munro was speaking at the SSE Women’s Invitational golf day, where she was part of a panel of rising stars that addressed the 120 female professionals in attendance.
