Grove Menzieshill appoint former Scotland captain Linda Clement as 1st XI coach

 

Grove Menzieshill Hockey Club today (Wednesday 19th August 2015) announce the appointment of Linda Clement as Ladies 1st XI coach with immediate effect.
Scotland’s most capped hockey player and captain of the Scotland squad at Glasgow 2014 will take on the challenge of leading the club as they begin a new campaign in the Scottish league and in Europe.
Charlotte Jones, who has coached the team for the past decade, announced her retirement at the end of last season. She will, however, remain as Performance Manager of the club and has agreed to provide Linda with any assistance that she may need.
Linda said, “I am excited by the opportunity to take on the coaching of one of Scotland’s top teams. I know that I will be working with and supported by a good group of players, and that I will be supported by Charlotte, who has done a great job as our coach over a number of years.”
“Last season ended on a high as we won the European Champions Challenge in France, and I hope that we can build on this momentum to bring more honours to the club. We also have a growing junior hockey programme and I look forward to working with these players as they progress towards the first team.”
Club President Kyle Moir said, “We are delighted that Linda has agreed to become our new coach. She has all of the attributes that we were looking for, and is obviously well known to all of our club members. We are certain that the club will support her as she embarks upon this new challenge.”
