Ben Fox, Ollie Drummond, and Lewis Wilcher (pictured above- left to right) helped the Great Britain squad finish 3rd, turning over Japan 3-1 in the bronze medal game. The squad narrowly missed out on a place in the final after a last-minute equaliser from India in a 5 all draw in their last pool game.  

The trio said “The Sultan of Johor Cup was a surreal experience and one we will never forget. We learnt numerous lessons both on and off the pitch playing against challenging international teams with contrasting styles of play. We are happy to be back in Exeter and hopefully be able to use this experience in our BUCS and Weekend Fixtures moving forward!” 

University of ExeterHead of Hockey, Harry Jones added, “We are delighted to have three of our University players representing the Great Britain Elite Development Programme out in Malaysia. It is a real showcase of the talent these players have and also how much we have here at the University of Exeter. We currently have 18 players (Mens and Women) representing their different international programmes. It is great to have them back and wearing university colours again as well as imparting all they have learnt from their trip away to the other players in the squad.”
