It has been an excellent year for Green who captained the University of Bath Ladies 1st team in the British University and Colleges Sport (BUCS) ICG National League, where they competed against the top university sides in the country.

At the weekend, she plays for Bath Buccaneers HC first XI, who had a successful season after being promoted into the England Hockey National League West Conference.

On being picked for the national England Universities squad, Green said: “I am delighted to be selected for the side and am looking forward to ending university on a high by getting to play such a high standard of hockey.”

The England University Squad has an exciting summer ahead, with a series of matches taking place against England U21, England O35s, as well as the hope of playing some European opposition in Spain and Belgium.

As well as English success, the former South Saxons star has been scouted to play overseas for the forthcoming season.
Amelie has been awarded a hockey scholarship to University of Massachusetts (UMAS) in America to complete a masters degree alongside playing hockey.

UMass is a division one flagship school on the east coast of America who compete in the Atlantic 10 Conference against some of the strongest colleges nationwide.

UMass have a strong history of hockey success and have produced a number of world class players in recent years across Europe and America.

About Saxons Green said ‘I started my hockey journey back at South Saxons hockey club in 2012 where I joined the junior section of the club. The Sunday morning sessions quickly became the highlight of my weekend and where my love for the game started - at a young age, the emphasis was on having fun, making friends and learning through this, which played a huge part in my development.'

'I quickly progressed into the ladies section of the club, moving into the 2nd and 1st XI, which was a scary prospect due to most of the players being a lot older than me, however they were all so accommodating and I quickly became part of the Saxons family. The friendly, family atmosphere of the club is very special and one that is hard to come by. My family have been part of the club for a number of years, with my brother starting in the junior section and working his way through the mens teams, along with my mum who has previously coached and played. As my brother heads off to university this year, we hope that we will reunite back at South Saxons in the coming years!'

' I have many fond memories of my time at the club and am extremely thankful for all my coaches and teammates who supported me along the way.’

The Saxon’s family wish Amelie continued success in her studies and hockey pursuits.
