South Africa's Outdoor Hockey Coach Inspired By Indoor Team's World Cup Success

National mens outdoor hockey team coach Sihle Ntuli feels the indoor teams recent World Cup bronze medal will fuel their medal ambitions.

The mens indoor hockey team secured a shock third-place finish at the recent FIH Indoor Hockey World Cup in Croatia. They were praised for their flair and ability to express themselves on court.

Its what Ive always believed we can do. I think both the outdoor and indoor set-ups have got great depth, Ntuli said.

Weve always known we have the talent in the country, so credit to the indoor coaching staff for finally being able to get that talent to come together and get that result.

Im not shocked about the result because I do believe we have the players for that.
