Coaches wanted
The ladies 1s and 3s are on the look out for new coaches for the upcoming seasons.
Both teams are packed with potential, commitment, youth and experience.

The Ladies 1s finished the season very strongly in the top half of Division 2 and aim to be playing Division One hockey sooner rather than later. The team requires a coach who is committed and enthusiastic. The team trains twice a week, Mondays and Wednesday, and have matches on Saturdays.

The Ladies 3s had an exceptional season, top 3 in Division ten and cup winners to boot, beating three teams from the Division above them on the way. Their squad is the perfect harmony of youth and experience. They require an enthusiastic and committed coach, they train on Mondays and Wednesdays and have matches on Saturdays.

If you have the skillset required or know someone who does get in contact wit Angharad Griffiths the Ladies Club Captain: 086 776 3379/ladies.captain@threerockrovers.com
