TOWNSVILLE Hockeyroo Stephanie Kershaw has warmed up for the upcoming women’s hockey World Cup in style by scoring in Australia’s 3-0 practice match win over India in London yesterday.
The 23-year-old opened the scoring late in the first quarter, before second quarter goals from Grace Stewart and captain Emily Smith secured the victory.
After missing the 2016 Olympics through a serious knee injury, Kershaw has established herself as a key member of the Hockeyroos midfield.
She helped Australia to a silver medal at this year’s Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, where they lost to New Zealand in the final.
