The mens 1sts completed their league fixtures last weekend with a 3-1 win over YM. Initially going a goal down they came back level at half time before finishing the tie off in the 2nd half. It leaves them 3rd in the league for the season, with the best defensive record to boast. Their season is not over yet though as they play Fingal on Thursday evening at 7.45 in the 1st round of the Neville Cup, followed by YM again on Sunday in the semi final of the Mills Cup. That game will be played at 4pm in Rathdown, and follows the other semi of Monkstown v Fingal.

The mens 2nds were beaten by YM 4-1 on Sunday as YM coached by Justin Sherriff sealed their division 4 title. The 2s have their last league fixture against Railway away this Saturday.

The 3rds game with Corinthinas was abandoned due to snow on Saturday! This week they play Rathgar at home at 11am this week, while the 4ths, who lost 3-1 to Fingal play Kilkenny on the back pitch at 2pm. The 5ths came undone to Bray 3-0 in freezing conditions, as they played through the snow that was starting to stick Saturday lunchtime.

On the ladies side the 1s return to action in a vital double weekend. Nothing but full points will do between their game against Trinity at 1pm on Saturday, and Bray at 10.30am on Sunday away.

The 2s look to introduce some budding u16s this week as they play Swords at home at 11am. The 3rds meanwhile won against Genesis 2-0 in their race for survival. Taking more points this week against Loreto at 12.30 at home will be key. Some of the u16s also got their 1st taste of senior hockey with the 4ths last week. Unfortunately they lost to a strong Avoca 2nds. They play Guiness at home at 3.30 on Saturday.

On the juniors side, Sunday marks a big day across all Juniors hockey with over 38 league, plate and cup finals taking place. The full schedule can be seen at http://www.leinsterhockey.ie/clubNote/218203/Junior_Girls_Clubs_Finals_Day. From a Three Rock perspective the 16Bs are in Corinthins in the Junior C league at 3.30, 14Bs are home in the minor C plate at 11, and 16As are in the Junior A plate at 9 in UCD. Best of luck to everyone!

Each year the committee is given a fundraising target to reach. This is an important source of income to the club, especially now given recent drops in external income.

The club are extremely conscious that our members contribute a lot as it is. For that reason we do not wish to be asking the same people for money all the time.

With that in mind we will host a fundraiser in the laughter lounge on Thursday March 21st.

Tickets are €25 with a large proportion of that going directly into the club.

You get a free drink if you arrive before 7.30pm.

The act for the night is a British comedy award nominee John Maloney plus others.

As its a neutral venue we hope that players will ask their friends and colleagues to go and have a good night. As its a not a hockey event we hope this will make it easier to sell, thereby not pressurising our own members.

If players purchase 6 tickets they get one free so plenty of reason to grab a few friends.

This is really important that we support this for the club. Ali and Rob will be up selling tickets in the next few weeks.

Tickets must be presold, you cannot purchase them at the door

Please contact Ali (0863762075) or Rob (0863875017) for tickets
