Overview: This year, Greg Thompson heads up the coaching team having been assistant to Ali McNeill – now with Mossley’s men. Andy Smyth is a high quality addition to the coaching panel from Annadale and Irish underage teams. In support of the coaching team, former internationals and Pegasus stalwarts Sharon Moffett and Arlene Boyles are back to deliver specific training sessions to the squad.

Hannah Grieve and Katie McKee are off to study in England but 24-year-old Kerri McDonald is a dynamic addition The ambitions for the squad this year are to develop the younger players and place focus from the beginning of the season on putting in good performances and developing individually and as a group.

It looks like a squad who are ambitious and will hope to push for silverware with Shirley McCay, Steph Quinn, Michelle Harvey and Ruth Maguire giving the side serious purpose. Vanessa Beattie manages the side while she takes a break from playing first team hockey.
