Following the incredible success of Great Britain's gold medal-winning women's field hockey team at the Rio Olympic games this year, the game itself is more popular than ever in the UK. Who out there wasn't completely enthralled by the penalty shoot-out win? I know I was!

It's so rare to find a sports video game that appeals to both male and female audiences these days, but this is certainly something that could take great steps in that regard. Field hockey games are powerful and fast-paced but with a still-apparent emphasis on technical skill and tactical nous.

While there's currently no fully playable field hockey video game, but there is a chance that this can be properly rectified. A small development team are currently working through fieldhockeygame.co.uk to try to provide PC players with a proper field hockey experience. They're calling on field hockey fans everywhere to share the progress and spread the word, so if you're in that category then this is your chance to make a difference!
