Lucky 13!! Another amazing chapter in the history of our men’s indoor team who won the National Indoor Trophy for the 13th time – and four in a row – as they produced a steely performance to win the final 4-3 against Corinthian at the Antrim Forum.

We opened the day with a 9-4 semi-final win over Avoca to go through to a repeat of the Leinster final which we lost in a shoot-out. This one was similarly tight, 0-0 after Q1, 1-1 at half-time and then we trailed 3-2 going into the final quarter.

But we turned it around with Ross Canning scoring a late corner to complete the turnaround and allow James Walker to lift the trophy.

It puts them in good stead ahead of their EuroHockey Club Challenge I tournament in two weeks time in Puconci, Slovenia with a return ticket to Europe confirmed for 2026!
