Big weekend for senior ladies
Kim Carney believes the number of talented hockey players on the Island has grown over recent years.
The captain of the Isle of Man's senior ladies team was speaking as they play four matches in the North Women's County Championships this weekend.
Four players under the age of 18 have made the squad competing in Ben Rhydding this weekend, including debutant Sam Hassall.
Carney says the standard of players available gives her a welcome selection headache:
