26 Lily Owsley

By the age of 24, Lily had amassed more than 150 international appearances, won Olympic and European golds and been named the FIH Rising Star of 2016.

A natural athlete and former sprinter, Lily now uses her incredible pace to run rings around defenders, as epitomised by her incredible solo goal against Belgium in the 2019 FIH Hockey Pro League, and is one of her country’s most influential and exciting stars.

She then added to her impressive medal collection by playing an influential role as Great Britain won bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, a feat she said meant more to her than the Olympic gold of five years before because of the journey the squad had been on since then.

Away from a hockey pitch, Lily is also a graduate from the University of Birmingham and is a massive Bristol City fan, making the trip to Ashton Gate as often as she can.
