Zambia
name their first World Cup team
by
Richard "Chappers" Chapple, our man in Africa
Zambia have announced their
final 8 person team for next year's world cup, being held
at Bishop Burton College in the UK. Zambia named the squad
after a weekend of top quality action at the Zambia high
goal invitational tournament. The final 8 players who will
represent Zambia at their first ever world cup are as follows:
Men |
Ladies |
| Anthony Barker |
Kirsten Michelson |
| James Rae |
Jo Cocker |
| Henry Beckett |
Lauren Watson |
| Murray Evans |
Vicki Sharp |
Zambia's ambition at the world
cup is to target wins against the teams from the USA and
Ireland, though Ireland's performance against the UK in
recent months has worried them. Zambia have been being coached
by Charl Du Plessis, the former South African polocrosse
star and have been playing against a number of players from
both South Africa and Zimbabwe to help their preparations.
However, the difference in horses between Africa and the
UK could affect all the African countries and perhaps not
suit the tactics they would ideally chose to use.
