Teams at the triennial IFWHA women's international #fieldhockey tournaments didn't play for a trophy between 1933 and 1975. Find out why in my article in the @IJHSofficial - use the link below to access 1 of the 50 free online copies: tandfonline.com/eprint/SKIRDXA…

Get this great book & help a great cause. Following the death of her wife, Judith, to ovarian cancer my friend @RileyCathryn produced the Big Quiz Book. 150 quizzes, 30 recipes, proceeds to The Eve Appeal, the leading gynaecological cancer charity. amazon.co.uk/dp/1527284417.

To celebrate Mother's Day, THM wanted to share a story about a mother who made hockey history. 🏑💐 Mary D’Oyley made history in 1896 by playing in the first ever women’s hockey international & being the first married woman & mother to represent her country in hockey! @JoHalpin

This Christmas, you can make a difference to women and their families, by donating to our #ChristmasEveAppeal and helping fund research and raise awareness for the prevention of gynaecological cancers: buff.ly/2PVF7Yg

A great book for a great cause. X

@JeanMWilliams @Devils_Porridge Thanks, Jean. Lots of interesting papers at the conference today. Looking forward to tomorrow's programme. Just to clarify, Slasher Talbot's nickname was earned with a cricket bat... But I'm sure she played 🏑 too! 👍

An often overlooked aspect of #WomenInWar war work is the connection to women's sport, and in this case hockey, from the amazing Dr @JoHalpin @Devils_Porridge

This is a lovely book of quizzes and recipes from Judith Henderson, put together by her partner Cathryn Riley after Judith's premature death from cancer. The quizzes are tasty and the recipes are head-scratching; all proceeds to The Eve Appeal (@eveappeal) amazon.co.uk/dp/1527284417
