An eight-year-old pupil from Scott Primary School has described his excitement at being chosen to represent Team GB at an inline skating tournament next year.
Grayson Wood has been selected to represent Great Britain at the Sparta Cup inline hockey tournament taking place in Barcelona, Spain in 2023 and his sports teacher, Laurie Allen, has described him as a great ambassador for the school.
He began playing inline hockey at the age of four and now trains every Friday night with the Bobcats team in Wellingborough. He said, “I am so excited to be a part of the team GB and to travel to Spain and play hockey.”
Grayson’s mum, Holly Orsag and dad, Roni Wood said they were “beyond proud” of their son and couldn’t wait to cheer him on from the stands.
Bobcats’ Head Coach, Ross Dugid said, “Grayson has started this season with pure determination to be the best that he can be. He puts in 100% at every training session and is a true team player. All that hard work has finally paid off, as not only has he made the GB team, Grayson has also just been awarded the assistant captain role in the u10’s Bobcats team.
“The talent this kid has is incredible and he should be extremely proud of himself. Everyone at Bobcats will be cheering you on as you travel to Barcelona to play in one of the biggest international roller hockey tournaments.”
