Sad News – Tribute to Sue Hourd

It is with great sadness that we learned that Sue Hourd has passed away. Sue had been ill for the last twelve months, bravely battling cancer.

Sadly, Sue lost her battle and passed away on Sunday 4th of January.

Sue and Dave, like many of us, met through hockey. They were great stalwarts of the club in the 1980s and ’90s.

Those of us who were privileged to have played with Sue will remember a stylish and brilliant reader of the game, who successfully captained the first and then the second team.

But not only did she contribute on the pitch, she also held a number of roles on the Ladies committee, including being secretary, and also on the Sports Club Executive Committee.

Sue continued to be an important part of our club and many of us, and visiting teams, will have great memories of the fabulous refreshments that Sue ‘magiced’ up from the kitchen.

Sue will be greatly missed by the many friends she made through hockey and we will treasure the many good memories of very happy days.
