North Down travelled to Shaws Bridge on Tuesday evening to play Inst in a rearranged Premier league game. North Down were without Jonny Moore, Michael Black, Jonny Linter and Ross Blair but this cannot be used as an excuse for an inept performance which saw the home side romp to an 11 nil victory. This…
Local clothing printing and embroidery company Tribal Branding have stepped in to provide North Down beanies for all of the Club coaches. Claire Shields was on hand on Sunday to do the needful for Sunday’s coaches. Thanks to Tribal Branding for their support. It is very welcome as we await the relatives of Storms Ciara…
North Down thirds met Queens seconds on a wet stormy Saturday afternoon at Comber Leisure Centre looking to cement their league position. The game was underway, the hosts dominating possession with Mockford, Donnan, Walls and Pyper marshalling the central spine of the side. It wasn’t long before the impressive start paid dividends when Jack Bond…
North Down fifths travelled to South Antrim fourths for a tricky away tie made even more difficult by the home seconds team playing immediately before the game. North Down travelled with a strong side but were the usual snails out of the blocks and within 3 minutes were 1-0 down. They knuckled down and slowly…

After a great victory last week, the fourths kept up the hard graft with a second spanking for Banbridge at Nendrum College’s newly constructed sand-based pitch. The fourths played a strong first half and equally strong final two quarters with both umpires forgetting the new four quarter hockey format! Goals arrived from three different strikers. …
North Down entertained Bangor in a Premier League game on Saturday at Comber Leisure Centre. Unfortunately just before the game commenced the heavens opened and the pitch began to flood. North Down members worked tirelessly to clear the surface water and the umpires agreed to start the game but with the rain continuing to fall…
So as storm Ciara went back to wherever storms live, her rogue brother in law Dennis the menace appeared. He may have halted proceedings in a high flying Bangor derby, but Cookstown 2s at home? I think not. As storm Dennis was denied so was Daniel’s early hockey siesta and with sad regret Mark Shannon’s stunning golden pint of…
North Down ladies fifths made the short trip on Friday evening to the Aurora Centre to play Bangor seconds. The home team started the game strongly but the fifths were quick to settle down and get stuck in. There was nothing to separate the two teams in the first quarter and it ended scoreless. North…
North Down entertained Newry in a Premier league game on Saturday hoping to reverse the scoreline earlier in the season when they were defeated 3-1. North Down opened at a fast pace and dictated the early play. Jonny Moore was unlucky after two minutes when his effort crashed of the post and minutes later had…
