Many congratulations to O60 tennis group player Graham Farrant who has recently represented the country in the O65 hockey national “B” team World Cup in Breda in the Netherlands. 7 matches played on the way to winning the final against Australia B in the final on penalties after a 1–1 draw. Graham’s highlight scoring a hat trick in the 4-2 win over Germany in the quarter final. So Graham’s team are current European and World “B” team champions having won the European Champs in Germany last summer.
