This photo shows Wigan Ladies Hockey Team between 1955 and 1960.My wife Doreen Johnson(nee Rogerson) is on the far right front row.
The lady in the coat is Barbara Pigot (from the well known Wigan solicitors).She was the coach and also refreed matches.
The rest of the teams names are unknown,perhaps someone out there can oblige.

Do girls still play Hockey at school? At one time you always saw girls going to, or coming from, school carrying hockey sticks. Or has the H.&.S. brigade stopped that too???

Is the lady back row fifth from left Gillian Makin from Billinge? It looks exactly like her, but I don't know whether she played hockey?
