I want to thank all the people who have supported, encouraged, and inspired me along the way - this award is very much a product of the super people around me!".

Reflecting on Eilidh’s achievement, Head of PE at St Margaret’s, Karen Norval, commented, "Eilidh was a passionate player during her school days, and I am pleased to see that she has continued with her enthusiasm for the game after school."

Eilidh’s dedication to hockey extends beyond mere competition. "I feel very passionately about the power of sport and the impact it can have on all parts of life," she shared. "I would encourage everyone to get involved and find something that brings them as much joy as this one brings me!"
