Brendan was Toowoomba Hockey’s first International player and most proudly our first Olympian. Brendan paved the way for our other Olympic and international players onto the world stage. Brendan or “Biff” was a determined defender and midfielder who played 65 international matches for Australia and scored 4 goals.
Brendan was known for his passing ability, strength in the midfield and reliability in defence. Biff’s consistent and dominant play was always a highlight for all to watch here at Clyde Park as well as on the international stage.
Brendan’s Major Achievements include:
1996 Atlanta Olympics Games Bronze Medalist
Two Champions Trophies including one Silver Medal
Angie Lambert OAM
Angie Lambert (nee Skirving) followed her good friends onto the world stage and also played her first international as a 17 year old. Angie, a gifted athlete with an even bigger heart quickly rose to become one of the greatest Hockeyroo defenders of all time. An Olympic Gold Medalist at just 19 years of age, Angie went on to become a 229 game veteran with 49 goals for her country. Known for her tackling, courage and specialist drag flicking, Ange developed into a world-regarded player when she was named FIH International Young Player of the Year in 2001. Angie’s ability to always put her team first was highlighted in her inclusion as a member of the Hockeyroo’s leadership group.
