Spring showers didn’t dampen the arthritic joints of Sale Ladies Vets team at

Timperley HC. A few spring chickens who crept in just over the age of 30 were

a welcome relief to some involved!

Caz Shaw and her goal poaching twigg didn’t fail to let the occasion go to her

head, whilst T D’Cruz wearing her aerodynamic tracksuit bottoms managed to

burst down the wings and provide pin point accurate crosses to the end of the

twigg.

Anne Monaghan finally got her wish - being provided with a GK kit by Timperley

4th team that fitted and to the defence’s relief didn’t smell!

Despite not winning the tournament, a great day had by all.

Over 35? Don’t by shy, join the vets gang - see Savs for details.

Congratulations to our members who represented Sale

in Clitheroe’s annual mixed tournament in August.

As expected Little Jenny captained the team through

to the semi-finals.

August bank Hols also saw Legless participating in the

Old Silz, Solihull tournament. See Jenny’s facebook

for update!
