Women's Masters

For the past five years we have had one Women’s Masters team made up of enthusiastic players spanning a wide range of ages. We have a huge depth of talent and experience and it was very exciting for our very own Dee Davies to make the long awaited milestone of 400 senior games for TEM.

Wednesday night women’s masters continues to be challenging as HV’s restructured competitions mean we slot-in to the 35+ age group. We eagerly welcomed new teammates from our senior ladies who are now eligible to play masters and these ‘baby-vets’ plus our experience, teamwork and good humour continued to hold us in good stead to finish up middle of the table for the winter comp.
