Chester spoil debut match
The Isle of Man hockey over 35s women's team were beaten in their first game on Sunday (30 November).
The newly formed side lost 3-2 to Chester after being 3-0 down at half-time at the NSC astro pitch.
They've been entered into the England Hockey Over 35s cup and depending on results they could also move into either the Trophy or Vase competitions as the season progresses.
Manx Hockey Association Chairman Kim Carney says the new team is beneficial for the Island:
FC Isle of Man to host play-off contenders Irlam
Hockey: Hopes more will take up 'important' non-playing roles in sport
Rugby: Table-topping Douglas head to West Park
Football: 2025 Railway Cup semi-finals await
