England hockey tour
NZPA-AAP London The English hockey team arrives in Australia today to play 13 matches, including six tests, in 22 days. Four uncapped players, David Knott, Nick Gordon, Nick ■ Clark and lan Jennings, are included in a party with only fiva of the
Los Angeles Olympics bronze medal squad. English critics have already questioned the wisdom of adding the Australian tour to an already crowded international programme. But the manager, Mr Colin Whalley, remains optimistic that it will give the
less experienced players a valuable taste of international hockey. The test matches are in Tamworth (July 18), Canberra (July 21 and 23), Melbourne (July 25 and 27) and Perth (August 4). There are seven other matches against state and rep?«sentative sides.
