Blockley players then and now unite

8:00pm Sunday 20th January 2013 in Sport

ANNIVERSARY REUNION: Blockley players past and present mingle, back row (left to right): Fay Jeffrey, Jean Moore, Ann Harper, Thia Stevens, Joy Gaze, Mary Wise, Sandra Hall, Val Briggs, Maureen Jackson, Marie Liptrot, Teresa Hamilton, Chris Dyer, Helen Patrick, Kirsty Bosley and Bobbie Hanley. Front: Penny Balhatchet, Sonia Turner, Chris Pearson and Sally Mayo.

Around 80 past and present members of Blockley Ladies celebrated the club’s 50th anniversary at Sparmoor. Many former players picked up a stick for the first time in a while to take part in a 30-minute game on the artificial pitch with the grass surface unplayable. They enjoyed refreshments and a catch-up afterwards with photographs of past hockey tours proving popular.
