The mens 1sts kicked off what will be a busy week for them last Saturday with a 5-2 win over Corinthians. Mitch kicked off the scoring early on with a shot from the top of the D and followed up with another not long after. Gaz stepped up to the penalty spot to make it 3-0 before Blakers grabbed the 4th. Corinthians tried to start a late comeback after a sting of corners led to their first goal before Matt Fairweather dragged another in not long after. The result was never in doubt though and Jody make sure of this by roofing one in the top corner to make it 5-2. It was the 1st of 3 games the 1sts have in a week as they take on UCD in the Leinster League on Thursday away at 8.30pm, followed by Belfast Harlequins away at 2.30pm on Saturday in the 2nd round of the Irish Senior Cup.

The mens 2nds return to league action having had a weekend off last week. They face a tough home game against a strong Pembroke side. In the same tie earlier this season the lads were unlucky to lose in the dying minutes so they will hope for points this time round.
The mens 3rds take on Avoca away at 2pm, while the mens 4ths will hope to recreate their fantastic 4-0 over Weston last week, as they face St.Brendans away at 12pm. Their win last week came courtesy of goals from G, Ryan and Willie. They stood for a minutes silence initially for ex Weston and TRR member Brendan Bourke who sadly passed away that morning.
The 5ths travel to Monkstown this week for 3pm.
On the ladies side the 1sts return to league games after a disappointing week last week. They fell 3-0 to Ballymena in the Irish Hockey Trophy. With a number of injuries and exams on, they were short some players but will feel hard done by after a controversial game. Give it a few days to settle before asking them about it!! This week sees them face Alex away at 1.15 where they will hope to get back on track for promotion in Div 2.
The 2nds took a difficult 6-0 loss on Sunday with many of the players doubling up to help the 1s on Saturday. They fell to Botanic in the league and this week take on Loreto at home at 11.30.
The 3rds and 4ths also suffered defeats, losing 2-0 and 4-1 respectively. This week the 3rds travel to Bray for a 1pm game while the 4ths have a late one at home at 5pm against Botanic.
On the junior side the u12 girls did well on Sunday against Our Ladies winning most of their mini games! Some lovely goals were on show with attack being the word of the day so well done to all who played!
