Thankyou
Firstly I would like to thank Giulia Virtuoso for taking on board most of the time consuming day to day running of the ladies section the weekly team list, umpires roster and canteen roster for the past 3 weeks. This support has ensured the ladies section has been able to keep running smoothly. The Umpiring Roster (up to round 14) and Canteen Roster have been e-mailed out – please ensure you do your duty or arrange a swap with someone else. Tracy Cordes has taken on board the Canteen Coordinator
Role – thank you!
Recent Coaching Appointments
Since the last Banter the Ladies Section has appointed Steve Pattie as the Metro 2 North training & game day coach – thank you Steve. We also had the privilege of the coaching services of Ian Jennings for one week who worked with the SL2 and PB coaches and teams. Ian brought a wealth of knowledge as he has coached the England U21 and U18s at Men’s level and been Senior Assistant coach to the England Women’s side.. He is the highest scorer in the history of the English Hockey League with more than 270 goals. Glenn Lloyd and Rod Lloyd have rated the one week experience as highly beneficial to not only the short term success of our top
2 sides, but the long term plans for the ladies section and how we train and play at a higher level. The training Ian provided has assi sted the ladies section in our drive to hold SL2 this year and strive for SL1.
