SALE Hockey Club ladies were inspired by the heroics of the Team GB ladies team whop won gold in Rio when they played in the English Hockey Fest at The Armitage Centre in south Manchester.
The players have been working hard on their pre-season fitness and skills training ready for the new season following their promotion last season.
They endured some tough weather to take the bronze medal at the tournament, beating Oldham on penalty flicks.
