The veteran recently notched up her 400th club game, and, there looks to be no signs of stopping.
Britten plays in Beechworth’s division two women’s side, as well as the veteran’s competition.
Club secretary Anne Duncan said Britten is a highly-respected member.
“She has always had a significant coaching role in the club,” Duncan said.
“She currently coaches the under 16 girls and coached them in under 14s last year.
“She played high level hockey in Canberra when she was younger, so she brings all that skill and knowledge to our club.”
Beechworth combined with Wombats to field a team in the division one women’s competition this season, which Duncan said has been a positive experience for both clubs.
Ironically, Britten and her division two teammates take on Wombats in Sunday’s preliminary final at Albury Hockey Centre, with the winner to progress to this year’s decider.
