Wales seeking upsets at Hockey World Cup

Forward Jonny Fleck says Wales will be going to the Hockey World Cup to "take some scalps" and "not make up the numbers". Wales have been drawn in Pool D alongside England, India and Pakistan in August's tournament in the Netherlands and Belgium. The team sealed their spot at the World Cup with a tense 2-1 win over Poland in the third place play-off in Chile earlier this month.

Despite being the lowest ranked side in the tournament at 16th in the world, Fleck says the team are embracing the challenge. "We're not just happy with qualifying," he said. "It's an amazing opportunity but we want to go there and to try and get some upsets on the board.

"We've achieved the minimum we wanted to do so far and now it's a chance to go to the World Cup and show what we've really got against the best teams in the world. " Wales will play their opening fixture against India on Saturday, 15 August (12:00 BST), before facing Pakistan two days later on Monday, 17 August (11:30 BST). They will face off in an all-British clash with England on Wednesday, 19 August (11:30 BST) to conclude the pool fixtures.

Fleck says it is a "tasty draw" and it will be "class" to play England. "We've played them a lot of times," he told BBC Sport Wales. "They've obviously got the better of us a lot of times but there's a bit of edge on that game and everyone is happy to play that.
