Hoornweg will be in charge of Wales at the upcoming 2018 Commonwealth Games where she will be aided by Interim Assistant Coach, Natalie Peperell (picutred right) and Interim Team Manager, Lavinia Baker. Both Hoornweg and Peperell will hold the same positions with Celtic Dragons, with Louvain Lake as Team Manager.
