After an international indoor hockey coaching career that spanned 20 years, Lennie Botha has called curtains and retired. Having overseen 132 tests for the SPAR SA Womens Indoor Hockey side that culminated in a fourth place finish at the FIH Indoor Hockey World Cup, Botha leaves with the team ranked 6th in the world.

In this episode of Hockey the Podcast we listen in to a conversation Tyron and Lennie had at the SA Hockey Indoor IPT at Thomas More College while Tyron picks five standout games from the Botha reign.
