AMY KIMBER!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This season&#8217;s ladies top goal scorer and regular first eleven fixture Amy Kimber aka AJ is next in the profile series. \u00a0Thanks AJ for taking part. \u00a0Next one on the list is a men&#8217;s third eleven player!<\/p>\n<p><strong>When and where did you first play hockey?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started playing hockey at Sullivan Upper school in year 8, almost 7 years ago!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you played for any other hockey clubs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes! I started off at Bangor Ladies Hockey club where my younger sister played and my dad coaches at before moving after u15 level to North Down HC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been at North Down?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have now been at North Down for three seasons, starting there at 15!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any personal ambitions in hockey?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my dreams I would like to play in Holland or USA but realistically the goal would be to play in the Premier League again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has been your best moment at North Down?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My best memory hockey wise has to be becoming club top goal scorer this season, social wise it would have to be the dinner dance last year!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who has been your favourite player to play with at North Down and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Has to be Caitlin Taylor! Always strong and composed at the back and you feel safe as a player when she has the ball. She also can play in any position which is a bonus!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your least favourite team to play against?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Has to be *********! Can you guess what team? Clue: Situated close to the north coast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you follow a particular football team?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I do not! I\u2019m more of a rugby spectator. Any suggestions for a football team to follow would be appreciated! (Editor\u2019s note \u2013 can\u2019t do any better than Manchester\u2019s reds!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>What other sports are you interested in and do you play any other sports?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I compete in athletics also, the Discus mainly. Fun fact: I\u2019m ranked number 1 in Northern Ireland for Womens\u2019 Discus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite personal sporting moment and a favourite all time sporting one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favourite personal sporting moment would have to be going to the UK Schools Games twice! A favourite all time sporting moment was watching Usain Bolt win the London 2012 Olympics on the tele whilst also being in London at the time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best holiday you have ever had?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definitely has to be to Florida in America with my family. I\u2019m a sucker for big roller coasters so I really enjoyed the theme parks like Universal Studios.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite TV programme?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It has to be In for a Penny by Stephen Mulhern on a Saturday night! Funniest programme I have watched!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It would have to be between The Avengers or The divergent films. I\u2019ve watched so many movies that it\u2019s hard to pick just one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite food and drink?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favourite food would have to be Indian and my favourite drink is an American style Oreo milkshake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full cream, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It has to be semi-skimmed, green lid all the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you been doing during Quarantine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had been doing a lot of sleeping and eating during the beginning of quarantine. I now have been working at the COVID-19 test centre in Belfast as part as the mobile testing unit. I\u2019ve really enjoyed working there and it is great to be a part of something so special!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you been doing to stay fit during the coronavirus break?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have been attempting to do runs during the week. I started off with 5KM runs but then I found this difficult so I started doing shorter distances like 3KM at a higher intensity. I also have been doing Chloe Ting workouts.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11831 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
