Athletes appeals upheld
Published Thu 15 Apr 2021
Hockey Australia advises the appeals of athletes Rachael Lynch and Georgina Morgan into their non-selection for the 2021 Hockeyroos squad have been upheld.
An independent appeals tribunal found due reason to oppose the duo’s non-selection after considering material provided by both parties.
Hockey Australia accepts the decision of the tribunal and will now move to provide both players with an opportunity to be considered under a new selection panel.
Lynch and Morgan were not selected in the 2021 Hockeyroos squad but were afforded the opportunity to appeal.
This appeal decision does not mean the duo gain automatic reentry into the national squad, however both players will again be eligible for selection.
The timing of any further squad selection will be determined by the selection panel.
