Congratulations to former student Sophie stokes who won the tier 2 mixed hockey cup yesterday 2-1 @ the national stadium👏Such a fitting tribute and deserved win for the team and their former coach Ben Dudley, their 12th man in the sky. 💙💛🏆
Emotional moment as @BristolHockey and @SutColHockey hold a minutes applause ahead of their @EnglandHockey T2 Mixed Cup game in memory of Ben Dudley, in the presence of his family.
@WestburyHC_JB in charge of this one - the ☀️ and Ben’s legacy shining brightly at Coombe Dingle.
Get down to Dingle this Sunday at 1pm to watch a great game of hockey and raise a glass afterwards in honour of our incredible and inspirational coach Ben!
Everyone is welcome all support is appreciated❤️
Let’s win one more trophy under the Dudley Reign 🏆
See you Sunday
Not played with each since club junior hockey and today reunited on the pitch together, playing for the same uni 🫶🏼
What uni is hockey all about 🤩
I also got asked to captain the team today which was a huge honour ❤️
February 2022, after 7.5 months I was cleared to run
May 2022 I had to have 4 weeks off running due to having surgery to have metal work taken out, then had to rebuild
Today I just ran my first continuous 5km sub 26 minutes (pace 05:11 per km) felt good and could push more 😄😄
What a day.
3 months post screw removal and 13 months post TPO and made my return to hockey AGAIN.I can’t stop smiling! Mix of pain in my hips but what’s important is it’s feeling the best it ever has.
Never give in, it’s possible if you put your mind to it! #hipdysplasia
On holiday and the grind don’t stop… slowing it down a little bit to enjoy the holiday. However a tough little 3km with my dad this morning! 5:24min/km, stopped a few times due to really bad air quality as a result of the Gironde wildfires happening close by! But we got it done!
Progress… 🔥 Getting stronger by the day! Hit 3 pbs (post op) this week all to do with lower body. Next week starting change of direction running.
4 weeks till preseason ⏰
Wow. 🤩
I may have not been shortlisted, but this really means a lot! I was not nominated by the Social 7s team at UoB who I have coached this season for Student coach of the year. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to coach them and develop my coaching skills 🏑❤️
Great to read this from former student @Stokesie12 You'll never meet a player with the perceivance this player has, what a story... but never a doubt she'd be back on a pitch making a impact #oneofourown #💙💛 #teamchase https://t.co/oxvgZgm51i
