Welcome to May's Hockey Happenings

We have had a busy April with plenty of action taking place and we have a very busy MayDSC_1771 (ZF-5059-77146-1-013) (WinCE) ahead as we start to move to the business end of the season. The semi finals and finals of The Electric Ireland Women's and Men's IHL took place over the May Bank Holiday weekend and the tournament was a roaring success with thanks to Lisnagarvey HC. This coming weekend 12th/13th May The all important Electric Ireland Women's and Men's Irish Senior Cup Finals take place with four intriguing semi finals.

In March we had the culmination of The men's and Electric Ireland trophy & challenge finals they were swiflty followed this month by The Electric Ireland Women's and men's Irish Junior Cup finals where Loreto and Corinthian were crowned champions. Down south Munster played host to the U-21 Men's & Electric Ireland women's interprovincials. Congratulations must go to Pegasus HC who hosted and won the recent EuroHockey Club Champions Trophy 2012.

On the international front our Men's senior squad travelled to Germany over Easter to pit their wits against the world number 2's over 3 back to back matches. Check out the results section to see how they got on.

So sit back and read on and catch up with what has been going on in Irish Hockey!
