Hockey Rules in the Garnock Valley - 17th May 2008

 

On Saturday 17th May Garnock Hockey Club (formerly Eglinton Ladies Hockey Club) held a junior coaching session and tournament at Meadowside in Beith for primary school children. A total of 55 children attended the event which was supported by North Ayrshire Sports Council. Teams were represented from Garnock Hockey Club, Irvine Ladies Hockey Club and Arran. The children were given a coaching session in the morning which consisted of 6 different stations each with their own coach and exercise. The afternoon session saw each club play against one another in small games. The enthusiasm, behaviour and skill of the children was extremely encouraging and indeed very promising for hockey locally.

A big thank you must go to the Garnock Hockey Club committee, its coaches and all the players who helped organise such a successful event. Garnock Hockey Club would like to thank North Ayrshire Sports Council for their support with our event and to President Jim McCabe for presenting all the medals.
