Parking at TRRHC

TRR HC has been receiving very negative online publicity regarding cars parking on the verge outside the club. The Gardai have said that driving onto cycle lanes and footpaths is illegal, as is parking on the area accessed via cycle lanes and footpaths. They plan to take action against any motorist found doing so outside TRR HC.

When parking in the grounds of the club has reached capacity, can all members and visitors please park in other car parks in the vicinity and NOT on the verge outside the gates. The club absolutely does not condone illegal behaviour, and such negative publicity can have serious consequences on the club

Congratultions to the girls again and their coach Orna Bools on helping the girls get so far!

Well done to the boys on making it to finals day and thank you as always to Portrane Hockey Club and the Donabate Community Centre for hosting another series of Indoor weekends!

Lastly, but by no means least, congratulations to the Senior Men’s side after they won the Leinster Men’s Indoor after defeating perennial rivals Railway Union 8-3 in the final. They progessed to the final after defeating Monkstown by the same scoreline earlier in the day in St Columbas.
