Indoor men advance to National Trophy competition

The men’s indoor side reached the final of the Leinster indoor league last weekend, just missing out on the title after a shoot-out to Corinthian.

Normal time ended 3-3 after an epic comeback from 3-0 down and we were only denied by an incredible goal line save in the final minute by the reds’ defence.

We have the chance for revenge over the next two weeks on the National Indoor Trophy stage. Six sides compete in the competition with the national title and a return place to Europe up for grabs at the Antrim Forum. Sunday sees us play in a three-team group with Munster champions Waterford and Ulster’s Cookstown.

It is an other step on their incredible journey over the past 17 years which saw them honoured on Thursday night at The Echo’s 2024 Sports Awards where they were the February Team of the Month winners.

They will head to Puconci, Slovenia in February where they represent Ireland in the EuroHockey Club Challenge from February 21st to 23rd, a hugely competitive competition featuring seven national champions.

It is an expensive endeavour and honour; if you would like to support their journey, please contact Liam Canning on canningliam@gmail.com.
