Britain's most ambitious international indoor tournament takes place this weekend in the Midlands with the staging of the DTZ international tournament at Kidderminster and Worcester.
With play in four pools of four teams, two at each centre, the competition has drawn teams from New York, Canberra and Vienna. British opposition is led by Capercaillies, the Scottish national squad, and Old Loughtonians, the English champions.
Southgate and Reading, third and fourth in the National League, have strong squads in Barcelona for the annual Los Reyes tournament, which is celebrating its centenary. The county champions, Surrey, with 10 players from the Surbiton club, and Grange, of Scotland, will also be at the Polo club.
Soma Singh, who has been on the injury list since returning from the Atlanta Olympics, makes a comeback for Southgate but they will be missing their player-coach, James Duthie (dislocated shoulder), and the Great Britain international Rowan Davis (on holiday).
