Tarryn Bright

Tarryn Bright (born 26 April 1983) is a South African field hockey player who competed in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics.[1] She was named South Africa Hockey Women's player of the year 2007 and 2011,[2] and best Interprovincial Player during a South African hockey carnival in 2014.

Whilst injury in the 2017/18 season has seen her sidelined from the prestigious Suburban Lions Hockey Club (previously Riverside Lions), Tarryn’s contributions to the club have not waivered - with everyone wanting a piece of Southern Africa. Her presence in the striker line in the club's 2nd side has ensured them a top 3 spot coming into round 14 (although there are few reports of her actually finding the back of the net). Tarryn also has a vital contribution in helping to coach the highly successful Lions men’s masters side with a strong showing in finals for the last six years resulting in four grand final appearances and two premierships. Tarryn’s influence on this team is best illustrated by the dramatic change in the ability of Chubb to miss the goal with every shot and from every angle to his season defining and grand final winning goal in the 2019 season.
