First year at Bloomfield Collegiate School.<\/p>\n
Have you played for any other hockey clubs? <\/strong><\/p>\n 5 years at Dundee University, my claim to fame is that Prince William was at DISC (Dundee International Sports Complex) playing hockey for St Andrews before one of my matches.<\/p>\n How long have you been at North Down? <\/strong><\/p>\n I played at junior level before I went to uni, Brian Davis\u2019 daughter brought me along. I remember playing for the 6ths when I had just turned 15 with Twinkle and Marietta Lammey and being terrified! Now I am a veteran player!!!<\/p>\n Do you have any personal ambitions in hockey?<\/strong><\/p>\n On Saturday mornings I have 3 kids to get to football (Mocky can testifiy I\u2019m there rain, hail and snow because Kane plays with one of my boys)\u00a0 and ballet ( Sarah McKillen\u2019s sister\u2019s school\u2026. Now I know where Sarah gets all her jumps and dives from!) so\u2026.I\u2019m pretty happy to still be playing and scoring the odd goal!<\/p>\n What has been your best moment at North Down?<\/strong><\/p>\n Scoring a penalty run to get to the plate final with the seconds in 2018 when Gary Alexander was coaching us.<\/p>\n Who has been your favourite player to play with at North Down and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n I love having Kathy Taylor or Megan Spence in centre beside me at right mid, they both work tirelessly and we can get some nice wee one-twos going.<\/p>\n What is your least favourite team to play against?<\/strong><\/p>\n Probably ***** *******, they are hard to like!<\/p>\n Who in your North Down team would you want, and who not, on your quiz team?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ll go for Krog in the team, I\u2019m not sure we would win but it would be a laugh. I don\u2019t want to be mean and say I wouldn\u2019t want someone on my quiz team. There\u2019s no \u2018I\u2019 in team!<\/p>\n Do you follow a particular football team?<\/strong><\/p>\n I don\u2019t watch football even though it is on a lot in my house. My boys will want me to say Liverpool but since P7 and Brian Davis\u2019 influence it has been Spurs.<\/p>\n What other sports are you interested in and do you play any other sports?<\/strong><\/p>\n I love tennis and swimming. I\u2019ve played a bit of netball but it is far too warm doing indoor sports, I end up looking even more like a tomato than I normally do doing sports outdoors. Maybe that should be my sporting ambition, to not come off the pitch with a bright red face.<\/p>\n What is your favourite personal sporting moment and a favourite all time sporting one?<\/strong><\/p>\n Same as above, scoring penalty runs for the seconds. I don\u2019t watch much sport on TV apart from Wimbledon but I saw the All Blacks v Scotland at Murrayfield which was pretty cool.<\/p>\n What is the best holiday you have ever had?<\/strong><\/p>\n I loved visiting the south of Italy on my first child free holiday 2 years ago. Honeymoon in New York and Toronto was good too. I went to Ethiopia in January 2020 to do Dentistry at a childrens\u2019 home\/school and that was probably the most meaningful trip I\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n Where is your ideal holiday location?<\/strong><\/p>\n I love going to Salobrena near Nerja in Spain. Short flight, great weather and we\u2019ve been so many times it feels like home from home.<\/p>\n What type of music do you like?<\/strong><\/p>\n I don\u2019t listen to a lot of music but I do listen to Cool FM but mostly for the competitions as Rebecca can confirm after one of our long trips to play Priorians. The last concert I was at was Rend Collective.<\/p>\n What is your favourite TV programme?<\/strong><\/p>\n Escape to the Chateau, New Amsterdam,\u00a0 The Bridge, The Great British Bake Off and Race Across the World made me want to do more travelling.<\/p>\n What is your favourite movie? <\/strong><\/p>\n Die Hard or Home Alone<\/p>\n Have you a favourite book you have read again? <\/strong><\/p>\n I love reading but I don\u2019t re-read books as there are too many more to read. At uni I read all the Harry Potter ones. Sophie Kinsella makes me laugh out loud, Karen Kingsbury makes me cry and if I\u2019m reading a good crime or spy fiction I can end up staying up far too late with work the next morning.<\/p>\n What is your favourite food and drink?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lasagne, Diet Coke and chocolate. Kirsty McCrory and Olivia Davison organised lasagne from the Old Post Office for match tea against Priorians this season which was pretty awesome.<\/p>\n Full cream, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk? <\/strong><\/p>\n Skimmed milk to fool myself that I\u2019m eating healthy but then I eat too much chocolate.<\/p>\n If you could invite four people, living or dead, to a dinner party who would they be? <\/strong><\/p>\n I would get James Martin to cook and then have Ant and Dec to organise the after dinner games and Michael McIntyre to make me laugh.<\/p>\n What have you been doing to stay fit during the coronavirus break?<\/strong><\/p>\n Cycling, taking our dog Bailey, who is 15, for walks and badminton in the back garden. I did the running 5k challenge and tagged some of the thirds to do it too although I\u2019m not sure they have all completed it yet??? \u00a0Bailey is well known at North Down, he once stole the match ball mid game at Park Way when my dad had him down at one of my games and he also jumped into a random person\u2019s car in our street one time and I found out via Krog\u2019s facebook!<\/p>\n
