The oldest hockey clubs in Ireland would like you to be involved in the start of something big – we invite you to play in our mixed grass tournament on the 29th August 2015, in College Park, Trinity.
We believe the pitch and setting is one of the best in Ireland. The pitch is steeped in history having facilitated numerous international matches and also the 1978 Under21 European championships where Ireland made it to the final only to lose to a very colourful Dutch side.
This is an opportunity for Grass Players to shine. Is technique more important than fitness??
Spinning, reverse stick sweeps, and playing the ball around the back are challenging skills on grass. Watch out for the long ball into the corner to chase or the diagonal left to right crash ball.
The tournament will run from first bully off at 10am to the final at 6pm
Cost is €100 per team. You may bring a squad of up to 16 players, and as this is a mixed competition there must be a minimum of 6 ladies playing at any given time.
Needless to say the Pav will be open with food and drink available all day. Please reply to steadcv@tcd.ie by 7th August 2015
