🏆 🏆 🏆 National champions once again!! 🏆 🏆 🏆

The indoor side won the men’s National Indoor Trophy for the fifth season in succession and 12th title since winning it for the first time in 2011!

On finals day, the side opened up with a composed 7-1 win over Portrane in the semi-final in the morning, getting used to the impressive new air-dome at Our Lady’s Terenure.

In the final, it was yet another showdown with Corinthian and it was close until the final stages. Luke Madeley’s early corner was countered quickly to make it 1-1; Ryan Williams produced the moment of the final to set up James Walker to edge us back in front for a 2-1 lead at half-time!

The reds levelled in Q3 but Luke ensured we went into the final quarter with a narrow 3-2 lead with an excellent corner recovery goal. And the lads closed out the game strong, Luke completing his hat trick and Jody Hosking made the game extra-safe for a 5-2 final score.

It gives the side a great boost ahead of next week’s indoor journey to Vienna where they will play in the EuroHockey Indoor Club Trophy!
