The thirds opened up their season with a disappointing display at Banbridge fourths last Friday night in the Junior Three League Cup. They featured a new look team as the early stages of the season took their toll with a number missing, injured or just not engaged with hockey as yet! In the early stages…
North Down travelled to Lisburn on Saturday for their first Premier League game of the season to play South Antrim who were narrowly beaten to the title last season. South opened at a fast pace and put the North Down defence under pressure with a full press. With Jamie Orr controlling things at the back,…
A significant game in many ways- Armagh 1s were recently installed as a Junior League team, having competed in the Intermediate League until now- and we had the pleasure of being their first competitive opposition, and competitive we were in the opening League Cup game at Regent House! 3-0 flattered the Armagh side who were…
North Down Ladies 1st XI played Dromore Ladies 1st XI on Saturday at Comber Leisure Centre back in Senior One. From the first whistle North Down came out fighting strongly wanting to make a good start to their season. The girls attacked the goal straight away and within the first few minutes of the match…
On Saturday North Down Ladies 5ths made the trip to play Ards fourths at Londonderry Park. It was great to welcome a number of young girls, most of whom have just turned 15, to their first league match and they all certainly had a great first match – Zara Steele, Lucy Kay, Amy Magee, Charlotte…

After a 38 month wait since he last found the net, Andrew Haire has finally hit goal number 100 in last night’s fourth eleven 5-3 defeat away to Banbridge fifths!

North Down travelled to Newry on Saturday for their final Premier League game of the season knowing that a victory would secure at least 7th place in the league and avoid the dreaded playoff with PSNI to retain their place in the league for the new season. North Down controlled possession for most of the…
North Down thirds hosted fellow relegation battlers Mossley thirds on Friday night at Regent House knowing that this was a must win game. Having pinched all three points only three weeks earlier with a 3-2 win, they knew they would be in for another tight game. The first quarter got off to a fast paced…
North Down Men’s thirds travelled to Havelock Park to face Banbridge thirds on Saturday. Having the pleasure to watch how hockey really should be played in the prior EYHL clash between Banbridge and Monkstown (4-4), North Down were fired up to get a result knowing that they had a relegation battle that is firmly in…
