The 3s entertained league leaders Queens 2s on Saturday and albeit North Down came away with zero points, entertaining it certainly was! Queens arriving with 15 strong had their warm up done by 1215pm whilst North Down turned up in drips and drabs and smashed shots into an empty goal whilst waiting on the rest…
North Down entertained Antrim in the Premier League on Saturday at Comber Leisure Centre and were very lucky to secure their third victory of the season. North Down gave a very inept performance and allowed Antrim to boss the game for long spells. They had the ideal start when Gareth McKeown scored after 10 minutes…
North Down fifths hosted Instonians 4ths in the late slot at Regent House last Saturday. With expectation for a home win high, North Down started the stronger with their characteristic fast paced start. An interesting short corner routine on 8 minutes delivered very little but 10 minutes later the same tactic resulted in a slotted…
The fourths top of the table clash against PSNI at Stormont on Saturday was a somewhat feisty affair with both teams knowing a win, even at this early stage of the season, would go a long way to boosting promotion aspirations. The same started well for N Down who took the initiative and created several…
The thirds travelled for the early start away to Cookstown fourths last Saturday. A lively start by both teams created chances at both ends and North Down started to dominate but couldn’t break down a solid home defence. A North Down short corner broke down and the home team countered to win a short of…
On Saturday the ladies thirds made the journey to Omagh seconds to take on the top of the table leaders. With a few of the regular players missing North Down knew this would be a tough game. Omagh started the game very strongly and the visiting defence were on their toes from the very start….
North Down ladies fourths travelled to Knock for a Junior Cup game with a mix of veterans and youth ready for action. Both teams produced attacking moves but despite winning numerous corners North Down couldn’t press home their advantage and the first half was scoreless. Into the second half and good build up play by…
North Down made the short journey to Strathearn to play a league game against a 16 strong Holywood seconds. A few returnees from university augmented the visitors’ numbers and they got North Down on the attack early in the game putting pressure on a tough Holywood defence. Julie Fisher prompted a number of sorties into the home…
Bangor go full Tarkin and in their moment of triumph fail to take seriously intelligence relating to the danger of North Down’s attack, overestimate their chances while underestimating ours and explode in a shower of sparks that will in no doubt be replaced in a special edition with something more spectacular…like a David Shepherd fist pump. Hockeyologosts…
The reformed fifth eleven in their second league match faced, on paper, a much stronger Parkview first eleven at Regent House on Saturday. The first 10 minutes was to set the tone for the whole match. North Down had full possession battering the deep defending Parkview and their dominance paid off with a poacher’s instinctive goal…
