Schokman as Ex-Officio Chairman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">From July 1952, this section which had been a separate part of the Club with a Constitution of its own came into the main club. From the outset, the Ladies played a major role and took a very active interest in the promotion and encouragement of hockey for women and girls. In spite of several outstanding players emigrating in the Fifties and Sixties, the Club continued to participate in all tournaments conducted by the Sri Lanka Women\u2019s Hockey Association.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I (Dennis de Rosayro) took over as coach from 1957 to 1978 and had a significant role to play. In fact through the BRC he introduced the seven-a-side tournament on November 25, 1961 not only to promote the game but also to encourage the formation of more girls hockey playing clubs and there is no doubt that the venture had proved both successful and extremely popular.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Ingram Challenge Cup was an All Island seven-a-side Invitation tournament open to all A Division clubs. Out of 19 tournaments played the last was played in 1981. BRC won it nine times, followed by Ceylonese Ladies Hockey Club with four wins and Colombo Ladies Hockey Club, Kandy Whites Hockey Club and Baptist Mission School Matale, with two wins each. This tournament was not held in 1972 and 1979. In 1968 I introduced the Juriansz Challenge Trophy for \u2018B\u2019 Division clubs; B teaches of \u2018A\u2019 Division clubs and schools. Subsequently in 1981, it was only conducted for school teams. The club had many successes participating in the Wynne Hones League tournament conducted by the Colombo Hockey Association.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Enid Reimers, Enid \u2018Gilly\u2019 Fernando and Claire de Kretser were the seniors in the contingent having represented the club and Ceylon before I took over. Gilly was an outstanding sportswoman, having captained Ceylon both in hockey and cricket. A very humble lady, she volunteered to play for the BRC \u2018C\u2019 team for the Ingram Challenge Cup in 1965.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A veteran Centre Forward, I would have played her in the \u2018A\u2019 team. Hugh Aldons a triple International in hockey, rugby and cricket told me that Enid Reimers was a fearful Full Back and both Gilly and Enid were fit to play for the men\u2019s team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">INTERNATIONALS: Enid \u2018Gilly\u2019 Fernando 1956 \u2013 vs. India (Captain) vs. Scotland (Captain) 1960 \u2013 vs. India (5 Tests) Enid Reimers 1956 \u2013 vs. India vs. Scotland, Hyacinth de Kretser 1956 \u2013 vs. India vs. Scotland, Claire de Kretser 1960 \u2013 vs. India (5 Tests) 1962 \u2013 vs. India (3 Tests) Deana Beling 1960 \u2013 vs. India (2 Tests) 1962 \u2013 vs. India (3 Tests) Cissy Pinto 1960 \u2013 vs. India (2 Tests) 1962 \u2013 vs. India (1 Test) Hyacinth Atwell 1960 \u2013 vs. India (5 Tests) 1962 \u2013 vs. India (3 Tests) Charmaine Boulton 1967 \u2013 vs. India (3 Tests) 1968 \u2013 Asian Women\u2019s Hockey Championships \u2013 New Delhi Jill de Kretser 1967 \u2013 vs. India (3 Tests) 1968 \u2013 Asian Women\u2019s Hockey Championships \u2013 New Delhi 1969 \u2013 vs. Singapore (3 Tests) Manel Wijekoon 1968 \u2013 Asian Women\u2019s Hockey Championships \u2013 New Delhi 1969 \u2013 vs. Singapore (3 Tests) Carmen Impett 1968 \u2013 Asian Women\u2019s Hockey Championships \u2013 New Delhi Dawn Harvie 1967 \u2013 vs. India 1969 \u2013 vs. Singapore (Vice Captain) (3 Tests) Maya Weerasinghe 1971 \u2013 vs. U.S.A. vs. Scotland vs. Wales, Marlene Marchado 1971 \u2013 vs. England (2 Tests) 1974 \u2013 Asian Women\u2019s Hockey Championships, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Dec. 1975\/Jan. 1976 \u2013 International Hockey Tournament \u2013 Madras, India Sherine Edirisinghe 1974 \u2013 Asian Women\u2019s Hockey Championships, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Dec. 1975\/Jan. 1976 \u2013 International Hockey Tournament \u2013 Madras, India National Players (vs. Indian State teams) 1967 \u2013 Dawn Harvie, Jill de Kretsr 1968 \u2013 Frances Crusz, Roshni Scott, Carmen Impett 1979 \u2013 Jennifer Todd, Petite Dias, Marlene Marchado, Roshni Scott. After a mass exodus of players from 1957 onwards, most of the very young girls joined from Bishop\u2019s College, Ladies College, St. Paul\u2019s Milagiriya, Holy Family Convent, St. Claire\u2019s Convent and Methodist College, Colpetty. Those outstanding players who migrated were Gilly Fernando, Hyacinth and Claire de Kretser, Carmen Impett, Deana Beling, Hyacinth Atwell, Charmaine Boulton, Jill de Kretser, Dawn Harvie, Jennifer Todd, Roshini Scott, Petite Dias and Jean Rabot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Other talented players were Lorraine Mc Heyzer, Shiela Hoffman, Jennifer Rabot, Lyzbeth Anthoniesz, Pamela Alexander, Dalrene Ferdinands, Nilufer Sellayah, Gillian Mack and Debra Silva. The outstanding players who remained were, Cissy Pinto, Frances Crusz, Sherene Colombage, Nimal Ettipola, Manel Wijekoon and Marlene Machado.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A host of youngsters joined the club from 1962 and with rigid coaching and very regular practices, the girls won several trophies. Those who played in the winning teams and since emigrated were, Romaine de Zilva, Jean Gibson, Jennifer Rankine, Delrene Boustead, Rosemary Forbes, Geraldine and Rhonda Harvie, Alison Berman, Fiona Joachim, Coralie Barsenbach and Doreen Wijemanne. In Sri Lanka are Myrna Perera, Zarina Nagoor, Helene de Rosayro, Sherine Saranapala, Olivia Gomes, Nilufer Sellayah, Carmen Santiago and Claudette Soranaretnam, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">From the time I joined the Club in 1954 till I stepped down in 1978, the hockey pitch was laid out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with the whole ground available for skilled exercises and training. In fact, they organised practice matches and coaching even on Sundays early morning from 7.00 am to 9.30 am before the commencement of cricket matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Only practice can make you perfect, was my motto. I emphasized that all my students were excellent learners who also sacrificed a lot to attain the required standards.
