Page 4 SALE HOCKEY SECTION TWIGG SHAW AND T D CRUZ SALE INTO PORT! Spring showers didn t dampen the arthritic joints of Sale Ladies Vets team at Timperley HC. A few spring chickens who crept in just over the age of 30 were a welcome relief to some involved! Caz Shaw and her goal poaching twigg didn t fail to let the occasion go to her head, whilst T D Cruz wearing her aerodynamic tracksuit bottoms managed to burst down the wings and provide pin point accurate crosses to the end of the twigg. Anne Monaghan finally got her wish - being provided with a GK kit by Timperley 4th team that fitted and to the defence s relief didn t smell! Despite not winning the tournament, a great day had by all. Over 35? Don t by shy, join the vets gang - see Savs for details.
