IHL finals
We were delighted to be informed as of Tuesday night that Three Rock Rovers has been selected as the host for this years IHL finals! The club was shortlisted two weeks ago, and after a selection process became the successful candidate the other day. Speaking to the IHA club captain Rob Johnson said,’On behalf of Three Rock Rovers Working Committee, we’re delighted that our club have been selected to host the IHL Finals on the May Bank Holiday. We’re looking forwarded to finalising our plans for the weekend and providing a wonderful environment for the hockey community and people new to the game to enjoy a great weekend of activity with us in Rathfarnham’
The finals are one of the main events in the Irish hockey calendar and we are delighted to be chosen. They will be held on May 4th and 5th. More details will follow. Following the success of last weeks LHA finals when 700 people came through the gates, we would love to finish off the season by showcasing the club once again. If anyone would like to volunteer for 1-2 hours over the weekend, we would be very grateful. Contact Ali Keogh if you are willing and able to help out.
