EX-BOWDON hockey player and 2016 Olympic gold medal winner Sam Quek returned to the club to inspire the next generation to follow in her footsteps.
Quek was recording a radio and TV programme for the BBC during her visit as part of a series entitled 'Get Inspired' and she was joined by 65 junior hockey players for a question-and-answer session before she led the children in an hour-long practice session.
Adults and children had their photograph taken with Quek and got to hold her gold medal.
Any adults or children who are interested in taking up or returning to the sport should contact Bowdon Hockey Club on 0161 928 1358 or by email to admin@bowdonclub.com
