North Down travelled to Deramore Park on Saturday to play Harlequins in a Premier League game. Both teams had got off to similar starts in the league and with three draws in similar fixtures last season North Down were hopeful of securing a win but some poor defensive errors ensured Harlequins got maximum points with…
Cookstown having been relegated from the IHL last season travelled to Comber on Saturday for a Premier League game. With both teams having secured maximum points in Week 1 everyone was looking forward to a good competitive game. Cookstown got the perfect start scoring in the first minute. Slack marking in the home defence allowed…
North Down ladies first eleven, looking to build on their strong performance last week, made the long journey to Raphoe. The team’s hard work started to pay off with excellent linking play in the first quarter with strong runs from attack and midfield to give outlets for the backs. Despite a solid effort the score…
After a dodgy start to their league cup campaign North Down fourths finally came good with a solid performance away to South Antrim fifths last Saturday.
