Squads

Karen Reid

Karen is our star up and coming Keeper and a member of last seasons U13 squad. Turned a few heads in Manchester recently and would have been poached if she lived over there! Has been selected for the Island U15 training squad.

Teams: Ladies C / Colts Position: Keeper

Jo Hull

Midwife Jo is a defender who wanders round the pitch forgetting that hockey is played with two hands, rounders with one! Loves a drinking session and is usually the one screaming out ridiculously disgusting drinking games to induce maximum drunken behaviour!

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed D Position: Defender

Sian Murphy

Don't be fooled by the surname, Sian is a Miller by name and a Miller by nature! Carling is part of her staple diet and look out anyone who gets in her way! Sian is a long serving member of the club and used to play in one of the junior Island squads in her younger days...now she prefers a nice stroll on a Saturday afternoon and hitting the Creek.

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed Position: Midfield

Donna Harrison

Captain Marvel is one hell of a success story being a multi time league winning captain. Has been known to enjoy a glass of pink wine on a night out although now claims to be a responsible 30 something!

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed D Position: Forward

Aalish Watson

Aalish is a good defender who can't half strike the ball. A very quiet girl but watch out any attackers who get too close to her!

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed Position: Defender

Caitlin Dunn

Caitlin was a key member of the U13 team that represented Valkyrs and the Island in Manchester recently. Full of fun and very giggly!

Teams: Ladies C Position: Midfield

Julie Faragher

Not many people get past Jules. She's as solid as a rock in defence and never lets a bit of blood get in the way of a good game, a star performer.

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed D Position: Defender

Jenny Walmsley

Jenny is still serving her life sentence at Valkyrs and is still as good as ever! A fine example of a dedicated and spirited player, Jenny has no problem passing orders round the half time team talk!

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed Position: Defender

Nicky Vincent

The Queen of Valkyrs, Vinny is a social butterfly who's taglines include "kissing is an extension of conversation" and "nothing ever happens in your living room"! She's been known to spend a considerable amount of time in BG sipping shampoo although now claims to be a fitness freak! A little known fact is that Vince is a keen golfer and not only plays off a decent handicap, she normally wipes the floor with the competition when it comes to the company annual golf day.

Teams: Ladies B / Mixed Position: Defender

Katie Callin

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed Position:

Hannah Shimmin

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed Position:

Ann Groves

Like most down at Valkyrs, Ann is a drinking champion! Was once known to have turned from sober to drunk on just one sniff of alcohol! A little known fact is that Ann used to work in a factory that makes glue from dead horses. Often witnessed in possession of some quick skills, which isn't a surprise for someone who trains so regularly!

Sarah Clague

Jacko prefers to play ladies rather than mixed hockey partly due to Clive's on-field coaching technique. Likes to watch the pennies and is always keen to get a discount on subs with her motto being "Every pound's a prisoner"!!

Shauna Kennaugh

Shauna is an old-school hockey player but has returned to the club having played just one ladies season. Despite that, she still swept to glory and took the Ladies C Player of the Year trophy home!

Aalish Burden

Aalish has a great knack of being in the right place at the right time and is fast developing into a star striker who's deadly in front of goal. It's not often that she doesn't get on the score sheet and is one to watch for the future.

Teams: Ladies C / Mixed Position: Forward
