Hannah Martin has been getting up to all sorts in lockdown but reckons a blast from her Ipswich School past tops the lot.

The Great Britain hockey ace has spent the lay-off disseminating expertise to current students at her old school via Zoom, also playing a key role in the Women’s Sport Trust’s ‘Unlocked’ campaign and helping Flyerz Hockey keep active.

Holbrook-based Martin spent the majority of lockdown in Addington with her boyfriend, Sam, staying fit through a hybrid of picturesque bike rides through the Yorkshire Dales and pounding the pavements in the White Rose county.
