Sarah, congratulations on being chosen - reading your biography tells me you have worked hard for this chance. I know you will make the most of it, have a wonderful trip, be safe & give it all you have. All of Wales is proud of you. God bless. I was born in Ebbw Vale, hence the good wishes from Wales.

YOU DID IT. We are thrilled for you Sarah and wish you every success. It is so great to have a Welsh girl in the GB squad. Well done and I know mum and dad are bursting with pride for you as we all are. Good Luck.

No one deserves this more than Sarah. We have a perfect sporting role model right on our door step. If people think that dreams can't come true, then this girl has just proven you all wrong. Congratulations Sarah.

Fantastic news Sarah!!! A great achievement for all your hard work. Wales has yet another female hockey player competing for GB, in another Olympic games. I played in Barcelona in 1992, winning an Olympic bronze medal (a long time ago!!) Good luck and fingers crossed for you and the rest of the GB squad. Go for it, Sarah! Go GB!

Kenneth Conway - Oshawa, Canada.
Fantastic, what a wonderful story. There are so many negative news items accredited to Merthyr Tydfil, let us give credit and some publicity to the wonderful, dedicated youth and their supportive parents who live in Merthyr and the surrounding area. Good luck with your training Sarah at the Olympic camp, hope you achieve your goal of Beijing 2008.
Joanna Gay-Lane, Wilshire
Sarah Thomas is a legend! She is the best player I ave ever had the pleasure to watch. As well as that she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Nice one mate, you rule!! xx
Sara Ahmed, High Wycombe
I think she is a good player.
Maria Power, Merthyr Tydfil
What a talent. Sarah gives 110% whether it's in training or a competitive game. You deserve to be where you are today after all the hard work over the years. I am so proud of your achievements to date and look forward to celebrating many more. All the very best for the games at Bisham. PS love and best wishes from Gran xx
Dave and Jane Hopkins
One of the best hockey players Wales has ever produced. Sarah plays an amateur sport with a truly professional approach. Hockey is a sport where athletes, even those playing at the highest level, have to dig deep into their own and family's resources to fund their ambitions. No one deserves success more than Sarah whose dedication to her sport is second to none. Best of luck for the games at Bisham on the weekend.
Anita and Dave Roberts Wrexham
Parents of Katie Roberts, ex-Welsh International but still follow the Welsh squad having made lots of friends through Welsh hockey, especially Phil and Sheila. Sarah, we couldn't be more proud of you - you at last are realising your ambition. We wish you all you wish for youself and more. Good luck and what a lovely mum and dad you have.
