Sports club in Rotherham has five sets of twins in ranks

A sports club that has five twin series playing for its youth teams has talked about its unusual fame claim.

The Junior section of the Rotherham Hockey Club has 60 members, and a sixth of them has a twin.

They go from EVE, 17 years old and Charlotte to Mabel and Florencia, who are only five years old. Two other twins are also the girls: Violet and Daisy, nine, and Harriet and Finola, 10, and the fifth pair are 12 years, Francesca and Joseph.

The Junior Development Chief, Archie Busby, said: “As the year progresses and more children are reduced, you think there is another set there and another set there ‘and balance, look and think, wow, we have five twin series. It is a bit special.”

The youth coach admitted that sometimes he could be confused in the training field.

“Sometimes I look down and ask me which one, but it is good to have a family connection.”

Eve and Charlotte Burghin, the oldest twins who also play for South Yorkshire, are part of a hockey dynasty, like their parents through sport.

Eve said they saw their relationship as an “advantage” in the field.

“I love, look and I know where Charlotte will be and what he will do. I also know what will bother her.”

Charlotte added that opposition teams sometimes mixed the couple.

“They end up marking the wrong twin.”

For his father, Andrew Burghin, seeing his daughters play together is a “proud moment.”

“It’s lump in the throat,” he said.

“As a sport is a familiar thing, parents play with children, moms and daids, go through generations. It is socially a great sport to practice, you can sit next to a decorator or doctor, people from all areas of life, help.” Aid. “Aid”. Aid. “

Dan Fletcher is the father of younger twins, Florencia and Mabel, and admitted that training at the age of five involved many “sticks and disputes.”

“They usually get along quite well. They love here, it’s a fantastic family sport.”

The GB Hockey team has a set of twins in female ranks, Sophie and Olivia Hamilton.

Busby said he did not know if there was a world record for most twins who were part of the same sports club.

“Maybe let’s look at someday, who knows, we could be us!”
