Ladies side of the club has finished their hockey for another season

As of Monday night all competitive hockey has been completed by the ladies side of the club.

The final weekend saw the 4ths painfully miss out on securing their place in Division 10 as they fell to a 3-3 draw with Loreto, having been 3-1 ahead. There was only a point between themselves and their nearest rivals.

Both the 2nds and 3rds saw out their campaigns with draw also, a 1-1 v Genesis and a 1-1 v Skerries respectively.

The ladies 1sts were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Hermes in the dying minutes of their game on Monday night with the result having no effect on their final standings.

The ladies 3rds and 4ths gathered together on Saturday night to say farewell to Maura from a coaching capacity anyway as she steps down from coaching the 3rds after many years. Siobhan made a speech thanking her for all her hard work and by all accounts it sounds like a great evening was had in the club.

The entire ladies section have had an extremely tough season and I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of it this year. So many players showed tremendous club spirit by playing 2, sometimes 3, games a weekend for various teams. This effort has not gone unnoticed!

In relation to final positions here are the results:
1sts – 5th in Division 2
2nds – 1-th in Division 4
3rds – 9th in Division 7
4ths – 9th in Division 10

A huge thanks to Jody, Stephen, Maura and Nathan for their coaching and dedication throughout the season. Also thanks to Julie, Emma, Ali and Mandy for their work as captains, and to Emer and Erika for their roles as managers. Eimear, Emma and Siobhan also did great work as registrations, fixtures and results secretaries respectively.

Please contact ladies.captain@threerockrovershc.com to confirm whether you plan to return next year so that we can plan ahead! Hopefully we will see everyone back to competitive action in August with pre-season.

Until then, the captains challenge will take place on the 5th of April. Teams will be on Facebook or emailed over the next week.
