COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Chieftain: KassandrEs
Always at the centre of the action is our new Chieftain Kassandres. Affectionately known as Kassy, she's the blonde bombshell that keeps everything together while still making sure everyone has the most fun possible. With possibly the best CA time a Swiss, multilingual, Art Foundation wielding, Art History and Biblical Studies studying lass has ever boasted, Kassy was voted in by a landslide and we all can't wait to see what she organises for us in the upcoming year.
As Chieftain, Kassy is responsible for all things off the pitch, including the social side of the club. On the pitch however, she dominates in defence.

Captain: Revello delchini
Rev must come in as one of the most deserving Captains in shinty history (all 2000 odd years of it). Her model attendance and dedication in all her 3 years in the club are a testimony to her skill- you don’t get a hit as powerful as Rev’s by accident! In her previous role of vice her exemplary planning of Bratislava ’18 is remembered as the ultimate tour.
Her nurturing and caring attitude is reflected in her coaching style. As our resident goalie, she focuses equally on all positions, ensuring that through her new drills and exercises we will triumph in the upcoming competitive year!

Vice-Captain: QUINNLÉ
As the Chieftain and the Captain's right hand man, so to speak, Quinn provides the perfect set of shoulders to rely upon chipping in to both the pitch and the pub. Fresh from a year abroad only means fresh ideas for this girl especially having learned the tactics of the enemy sport...hockey.
Attack is not just a position on the field for Quinn but a way of life, utilising her drive to encourage the team to perform to the best of their ability both on the pitch and in the pub. Being away from the sport has not lessened her passion for the game with her new drills and games helping us thrive as a team and will enable us to triumph in the upcoming competitive year.

Fitness: Agnes Izel
Fondly known as sh*tness among the girls, the first 30 minutes of training will remind us why. If there’s one person on the team who can kick us into the strapping, hardy, running machines that are inside us, it's Izel. Crazily fit herself, Izel is focused and encouraging, determined but sympathetic - essential features for this very much loved position.
As the winner of the much sought after Black Caman prize for 'Best Newcomer', we can't think of a better person to have on our team and committee.

Beginner's Rep: SAVROSS
Ready to mother the fresh new crop into the art of shinty is Savross, more fondly known as Savi. In attack she is consistent, always preying on the ball and waiting for any moment of weakness from her opponents before knocking another one into the back of the net. Savi poses a triple threat - not only are her caman-wielding skills impressive, but she can dance your pants off in 601 and whip up a chemical mixture so powerful you wouldn’t dare cross her again. Cracking jokes and determined to talk to everyone, she will welcome you with open arms and help show you the ways of shinty on the pitch and in the pub.
Savi and the rest of the club are already looking forward to meeting and welcoming you to the shinty family!

Treasurer: AGNES KARTA
Also known as the 'backbone of the club', Karta lives up to the name. Although a young buck to the shinty game, this Agnes is keen to prove her worth by taking the club's finances into her very capable and frugal hands. Karta is no one trick pony though, playing midfield like any resident uibhisteach worth their salt should.
Karta is looking forward to her role as treasurer, reminding us of the core virtues of the club such as "time is money", "not investing in quality is such a false economy" and "diamonds are a girl's best friend".

SECRETARY: HESTIA
Sexy Secretary is the name and organisation is the game. Hestia has introduced us all to feats we never thought possible such as a unique colour coding system and replying to e-mails consistently and on time (please give us your tips!!). Unafraid to send e-mails left, right, and centre, Hestia is equally a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. Whether it be in defence or attack, she will not let anything get in her way. Hestia has only one mission in both her secretarial skills and her defense skills - keeping her eyes on the ball.
HEALTH, Safety & Kit: Tinker
As the youngest committee member Tinker is the baby of the team. But what she lacks in experience she makes up for in creativity, flare and a passion for health and safety. She is equipped with cutting edge medical know-how such as wearing helmets, the NHS non-emergency number and running to Boots for the slightest worry. Joking aside, Tinker’s campaigning cry for club caps resonated so well with the team we all can’t wait to see what this year brings for health, safety and kit.
Aside from her committee role Tinker is a mean player, nipping around the pitch and holding her own against the most formidable opponents (making it to the union not included).
