On Blue Box’s involvement in the club Martin said, ‘I have been involved in the club for 19 years after my eldest son decided to have a go at hockey, I found it was a fantastic inclusive sport for people of all ages to get involved with, I even persuaded to start playing when I was 42! I had never played before and thoroughly enjoyed getting involved in a team environment in the Owls, the Vets team at Camberley & Farnborough. I am passionate about getting kids involved in sport and part of our sponsoship goes toward that’.
