Following agreement with the FIH this weekend's Glasgow World Classic has been recognised as an 'official' FIH event.

This increases the standing of the event and means that the competing teams can play under the name of their country and caps can be awarded.

The competing nations are Scotland, Holland, Australia, Denmark, Canada and the USA. The Austrlian women will also play a couple of matches over the weekend against to Scottish opposition.

The Glasgow World Classic starts on Friday at the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow and there is no charge for entry on Friday night.

Keith Joss of Glasgow City Council said "The Council are delighted that the tournament will now hold official international status, particularly coming at the start of 2003 when Glasgow holds the accolade of European Capital of Sport."

Gerry Ralph, President of SHU said "We are very pleased that the FIH has recognised the quality of this event and of the teams and officials involved."

Hi Yall.

you know, I made a fairly good movie about you scotch guys and gals, albeit factually incorrect [wallace never met bruce] but hey whats the facts between zenophobic movies. well, regardless of my ommissions i feel i should tell you that i will be painting my face blue and attending the kelvin hall. i may even bring 500 other scantily clad irish extras to fill in the bleachers. you scotch guys may not be playing the english butu surely a number of you will see old wounds reopened against the canadians [shania twain] the dutch [2unlimited] and the usa [just about everything that is wrong with the world. so come on scotchland support your team, FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOM

If this was the Canadian women, they'd probably count these caps as outdoor. Believe it or not, they count warm up games at international tournaments as actual caps.

erm..do most other sports not count INTERNATIONAL matches, whether friendly or competitve, as INTERNATIONAL caps.i think it makes sense if you represent your country in a friendly or in the world cup you should get a cap? otherwise there would be some nations without a single capped player!

Caps
Other countries count both friendly and competive matches as "CAPS" both in hockey and other sports - ie football, ice hockey, rugby, etc...

So, shut up xxx

i cannot believe this, what happened to the mouth of the goalies in scotland we hear endless stories of how good we are at keepers not least by messers dick, kane and mcgregor and when push comes to shove at the serious business where are they?
Ahrens is right to pick honest endevour and experience over hotshot goalkeepers who win the battle but throw the war.
Good luck to Farnan and Braithewaite in all competitions this year.

It's great that this is sanctioned by the FIH, but it would be nice if we could get results for the tournament.
Thanks.

So the scottish website has results on it for a change. That's very good of you considering most results usually take ages to be posted. It was good though that quality indoor is back in Scotland and i guess the organisers etc should be congratulated. As for the caps thing, does anybody get a cap saying " i play hockey" anyway?

goalkeepers
i think k farnan is to old and not fit enough to play for scotland. i think there are a lot better keepers in scotland that are better.
