New Coach for Ladies 1st Team
Posted by Nobody on 22 July 2013
The Boots Committee are pleased to announce that Andy Fairbrother will be coaching the Ladies 1st Team as they prepare for their first season in the Investec Womens Hockey League.
Club members will already know Andy, as he has been involved with the club as an occasional player and club coach for the last few seasons. He has experience of National League hockey (both indoors and out) with his most recent successes working with Leicester Ladies to help them achieve 2 National Indoor titles. He returns to coaching outdoor hockey having previously coached Nottingham Highfields (now Beeston Ladies) in the National League.
Andy hopes to continue the work of former Coach Tom Sherratt who announced that he could not continue in his role as coach along side his playing commitments at Belper HC in the mens National League and spending time with his young family.
Tom led the team for a number of years, through the Midlands Leagues with success last season resulting in the promotion of the the Ladies 1st Team to the Investec Womens Hockey League. With his work over the past seasons Tom has secured his place in the clubs History guiding them to the highest standard any team has reached in the clubs history.
No pressure then Andy!
