While some of the top men’s national teams are in Malaysia using the Azlan Shah Cup as the final major tune-up before the London Games, the top women’s national teams are starting to converge on London for the Investec Cup, which begins on June 5.
At the five-day event are squads from the Netherlands, Ireland, Great Britain, South Africa, Germany and Australia. Four teams in the five-team field will return to London in just over 50 days for the 2012 Olympics, with Ireland being the odd man out.
Each team will play two games in a preliminary round before the top four move onto a semi-final and then placement games. Australia has already arrived in London and other teams are following suit this weekend to get ready for the important event.
The final will be broadcast live on Sky Sports 3 and daily highlights will be available for all game days on Sky Sports 4. If you are in the London area and would like to order tickets, please click here.
