Former Scotland international Audrey Cooper has her first test as coach of the Great Britain women's team this weekend.

Cooper - who took over from Lorne Sawula earlier this year - takes the GB team to Calais for a two-leg match with France in the inaugural women's European League.

It is the first of six rounds of matches - one of which is at Meadowbank on June 13-14 - as teams bid for a place in the Final Four in July.

Cooper is hoping for a decent showing before next weekend's home leg in Sheffield against Turkey.
