Sport: Vanuatu hockey hoping for Olympic boost

From , 5:00 am on 3 May 2018

Vanuatu Hockey hopes competing at the Youth Olympics will inspire more young people in the country to pick up a stick and give the sport a go.

The Vanuatu men's and women's Under 18 teams finished runners up in the Oceania Qualifier in Port Moresby at the weekend to earn their place at the Youth Games in Buenos Aires later this year.

Women's coach Jen Bowtell told Vinnie Wylie it's a great achievement and a big opportunity.
