Turning the club blue and brown for the weekend is the aim as we look to support the mens 1st XI in their Irish Hockey League semi final on Saturday!!!

The guys take on local rivals Monkstown who they face in an Irish semi for the 4th time in just 2 years. The game tips off at 5pm as the last game of what is a huge day of hockey in HQ! A win will see them into the final of this competition on Sunday at 4pm for the first time since its creation. The lads were last in an All Ireland Final in 2008 in the competitions old Club Championship format. Don’t underestimate the support that a home crowd brings to such a huge event so please get down and support them in club colours and ensure everyone knows they are in the home of TRR!!!!

The game takes place in a huge weekend for the club as we host these finals for the 4th time, more than any other club in the country! The Wooden Spoon is open with their usual selection of great food, while the bar will also be open. On top of that we also have a Heineken tent and chip van in the front car park, and a seating stand for 100 people. The atmosphere is bound to be electric all weekend as we welcome the best clubs in the country for their final weekend of hockey this season.

Volunteering just 2 hours of your time will ensure you get to soak up the excitement of the rest of the day for free.
