Weekends for Lucy are usually spent on either the hockey pitch with her local team, or during the shooting season, out on the shoot with her husband, their little girl, and their team of gundogs. Lucy hugely enjoys the social side of everything hockey and shooting offers and is hopeful her little girl will follow her with a love for team sports and the great outdoors.
