Clifton's Georgie Twigg set her sights on winning gold at the London Olympics after England secured their first ever Champions Trophy medal. The 19-year-old won her first full international cap in Sunday's bronze medal victory against Germany She told the BBC: "It was an amazing experience, quite a bit quicker and more physical than club hockey, but we've been training well for it "The Olympics is our goal - the big push is to compete and win there." Clifton team-mate Gemma Ible also won her first cap in the 2-1 victory. "I was delighted to take part in England's success," Twigg said. "We've been training together for weeks and that helped as both goals came from well-worked short corners. "As a team, I think we're improving all the time." Twigg, a law student at Bristol University, hopes to win selection to the hockey World Cup in Argentina in September and the Commonwealth Games in India in October.
