Hockey: one more week for Duck to make team

By SUZANNE McFADDEN

Veteran hockey fullback Jenny Duck has another week to prove her fitness for the Olympics.

Duck, recovering from back surgery, must show New Zealand women's coach Jan Borren that she is back to full health for Sydney.

After surviving the tri-nations series in Australia last week, Duck has two games with the New Zealand side in the Wellington men's club competition before Borren makes his call.
