Trojans Hockey Club captain Amy Sheehan has been named in the England over-35s squad for the European Championships in Valencia and the Home Nations tournament in Glasgow to cap a stellar season.
The call-up crowns a standout season for Sheehan, who scored 21 of Trojans’ 43 league goals and finished as the top scorer across all of Division 1 North, Division 1 South, and the four Conference divisions.
Her performances were instrumental in Trojans securing second place in their league – the club’s highest finish in years – with two games still to play.
Sheehan returned to Trojans in 2018 and has captained the women’s 1s for the past four seasons. Under her leadership, the team has developed into genuine promotion contenders.
“It’s an honour to be selected,” Sheehan said. “I’m proud of what we’ve achieved this season. We’ve shown we can compete with anyone in our division, and we’ll be pushing hard for promotion next year.”
Coach Richard Markham praised Sheehan’s influence both on and off the pitch. “Her selection is well deserved. Amy leads by example – her work rate, commitment, and ability to deliver in big moments have been crucial for us.”
Sheehan will join the national masters squad for the summer tournaments as one of the form players in the domestic game, adding another milestone to a season that has redefined both her individual career and Trojans’ standing in the league.
