National Representatives
Bournemouth Hockey Club is delighted to have club members playing at both National and International levels. Meet our female superstars ….
Elaine (Lenny) Murphy
England Over 50s, Over 60s & Over 65s.
Lenny was first selected to play for England O50’s in 2013, representing England in Malaga and Guernsey and then winning the Home Nations Tournament in Dublin.
2014 then became the most exciting year of her playing career, having been selected to play in the World Cup in Rotterdam. The whole team played with such spirit and belief and the two goals Lenny scored against Australia in the final match ensured the team won gold!
Since then she has played in squads who have won another two Home Nations and the gold medal in the European Championships in London.
In 2024 she flew to New Zealand to be part of the Over 60s England squad, and brought back a gold medal! She’s certainly done our club proud.
In 2025, in her first year playing for the Over 65s she has won both the World Cup and the European Championships!
Liz Miles
England Over 60s
Liz joined in the England Over 60s squad in 2025, playing the Home Nations in Swansea and the European Championships in Nottingham. In Nottingham, the England Ladies Over 60s team won GOLD beating the Netherlands in the final. A great first season of national duty for Liz.
Pip Woods
England Over 45s
We are also proud to recognise players who are currently representing other clubs but who have spent time representing Bournemouth Hockey Club in the past.
