TWO members of Thurrock Hockey Club’s ladies first team have been presented with Jack Petchey Achievement Awards.

Natalie Beardwell and Sarah White have been associated with the club for many years. They both became interested in hockey as their mothers played and they have also played alongside them.

They have worked their way through the mini and youth sections to the first team. They both help coach at the Wednesday evening training nights at Palmer’s College and they support all club events. They are going to use their award money to organise a coaching day with a top coach for all the young players at the club.
