Hockeyroos stars Georgie Morgan and Rachael Lynch win appeal over axing from Olympics team
An independent panel has upheld appeals lodged by two former Hockeyroo players over their non-selection in the Tokyo Olympic squad but it is not yet clear whether the players will be able to join next week’s crucial training camp in Darwin.
Key points:
- The duo were dropped from the squad in December
- Since then, Hockeyroos head coach Paul Gaudoin and two other members of the selection panel have resigned
- New head coach Katrina Powell, who has been in the role for only 15 days, says Morgan and Lynch will be provided the opportunity to play for selection
Former Hockeyroos captain Georgie Morgan and current international goalkeeper of the year Rachael Lynch were cut from the Olympic squad last year.
