Royal Navy Women’s Senior Hockey Player of the Year

Ladies 1s Captain Tegen Snell has once again been awarded the Women’s Senior Hockey Player of the Year for the second consecutive year, a fantastic accomplishment and testament to her continued dedication and performance. In addition, she has been successfully selected to represent the Royal Navy as part of the United Kingdom Armed Forces (UKAF) hockey team.

UKAF recently competed in Aldershot against the Dutch Armed Forces, securing an impressive 3–1 victory. We wish Tegen and the UKAF team every success in their upcoming fixtures in Cardiff against Welsh opposition.

Isabelle’s Successful Year

It’s been a full on 12 months of hockey for Isabelle. After playing for West Panthers at the U13 festival in Nottingham in July 2024, Isabelle was selected for the UK Lions squad. This is a year long process to give players a taste of international hockey accompanied with having fun.
The first event was a training camp on the Devon coast. Not only did they play hockey, but went surfing and bowling. This led to a tour to Malaga just before Christmas, training and playing against a Spanish club, a training camp in Surrey in February playing against a very strong Surbiton side and an indoor tournament in Derby in May. The culmination of the Lions process was an outdoor tournament in Amsterdam at Easter playing against teams from Germany and The Netherlands.
Alongside this, Isabelle was the youngest player to be part of the Exeter Talent Academy, training 1-2 times a week and playing fixtures against other Talent Academies in the South. Isabelle was then selected to represent Exeter at the Talent Academy Cup in Nottingham in July.
And to complete her summer of hockey she rejoined the West Panthers at the Mercia Cup in Malvern.
And not forgetting last season was Isabelle’s first playing for Penzance Ladies 1st team. Not only did she love her season, but she provided amusement to her teammates!
