This weekend sees the return of the Supercup and it is back with a bang! Sixteen teams will compete between Friday and Sunday with matches running all day in a jam packed schedule.

The organising committee of Siobhan Madeley, Stephen Findlater, Joe Brenann, Shane Madeley, Alastair Haughton and Barbara Snow have been working hard for a number of weeks to ensure the highest quality tournament possible.

They have attraction some excellent quality teams in each section of the competition.

On the mens side last seasons powerhouse of Monkstown will be on hand, and are pooled with TRR 2s, Corinthians and Annadale. The other pool sees Rovers 1sts take on last seasons table toppers Pembroke, along with Fingal and Belfast Harlequins.

The womens side sees a division 1 and 2 competition run separately. The consistently strong Loreto will take on fellow IHL competitors Hermes and Ulster Elks, along with Pembroke who have a number of new faces to their side.

The div 2 competition sees our own 1sts take on Pembrokes very strong 2nds, along with Bray and our frequent rivals Genesis.

Matches are 28mins a half, and must be finished within the hour.

A junior clinic will be run between 2.15 and 3.15 on the Saturday on the back pitch. Our mens and ladies 1sts will be on hand to coach our boys and girls u14s and u16s. All within these age groups are welcome. There will be burgers after the clinic and the chance to watch our top teams in action for the rest of the day.

Rahcel Sterling will be on hand to provide her usual delicious food and there will be entertainment on Saturday night. The bar will be open all weekend.

Even if you are not playing be sure to get up and watch a great festival of hockey. It’s a great test for our teams before the start of the season.
