I think this is absolutely shocking! that the team is picked and announced then at final training camp a young girl gets told that because the girl that has now been bought in, attitude has changed they going to drop her and bring in this girl whom luckily comes from the same province as the coach! Sorry about any other girls that were dropped from other provinces because of attitude. There seems to be to many CHIEFS and not enough Indians
making decisions.
I just hope that SA Hockey handle this in the professional way it should be handled.

i think that changing the team so soon prior to qualifiers is an absolute bloody joke. not only have you broken the dream of a young girl but you’ve shown everybody what a complete bunch of monkeys you are. PICK A TEAM, STICK TO IT.
to work so hard for something then have it pulled from underneath you because of politics is appalling!!!!!!
i hope the bigger powers that be in SA hockey have something to say to you!

This report is factually incorrect or the team was prematurely announced as it was changed, today 7 February 2010 on the final day of the final training camp. No further comments necessary other that to say this is the way to treat players!!
