Other
than Eddy Burns and Richard Beswick……….hard to say, maybe Tim Morris.
Top Tip in Hockey?
Score more goals than the oppo, gives you a better chance of winning!
When your playing Hockey what is your husband Andrew doing?
I'm not married to Andrew, never was and never will be! You must be getting confused with some one else
? Fergal is the only gay in the village!
Ok, yeah but no but yeah, when your playing Hockey what is your
girlfriend Kat, doing?
Normally watching the game, shopping or cooking something foreign!

Squash, Tennis, Pro Evolution Soccer, EA Cricket 2005.
What Music do you like?
Basically anything Cheesy (80's 70's, disco, Rock, Dance etc)
What is it like captaining the 1st team?
Goes from banging your head against a birick wall and pure euphoria!
Philosophies of Life?
If you have tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson
is..................never try!
Life is the best present you can ever receive - don't waste it!
Remember it is better to regret something you did than something you haven't!
What next for NSWHC?
After missing out on the David Beckham signature to LA Galaxy, we’re quite keen to
put a bid in for Ronaldo of Madrid. If that fails, Plan B is to raise the profile
of the club, by sending Mark Strong and Eddy Burns onto Big Brother 8. If that
fails, we may as well just concentrate on raising the funds for the astro pitch at the club.
Which
member of NSWHC would you have on your side in a fight?!!
Anyone ginger - they're bound to take the brunt of the punches thrown! Or Steve Kelso - he has connections
and generally knows where people live.
