The thirds hosted table toppers Garvey 5s on Saturday with a strong squad ready for action. In came Irwin, Mark Shannon looking his elusive 100th goal for the club, the ever faithful Sam Brown , young Dalzell and Ryan Millar who had impressed in recent weeks in Junior 5. Garvey were always going to be a strong well disciplined side but…
Notwithstanding eleventh hour selection hokey-cokey, related chronic Dalzell winter “frustration” and frankly reckless disregard for time keeping nothing can prevent the 2s descent into predictability as they fire up their favorite distro and do a “%s/Master/One Horse/g” on the “Master Race” to make it five from five with a chilly 3-1 win away to Inst….
The fourths played host to Civil Service at Comber on Saturday knowing victory was essential to keep up hopes of promotion in what is already a top heavy league with 4/5 teams battling for 2 coveted places. After a late injury pull out on Saturday morning left a squad of only 12 fit players, Sam…
Having lost their unbeaten record to Bangor the previous week North Down were keen to get back to winning ways when they entertained Civil Service at Comber. Coach McKeown had the team fired up and they were quick out of the blocks. Before NICS knew what hit them they found themselves three goals down. From…
Beelzebub eyes encroaching cold front and doubles down on woolly hat futures, porcine-kind finish Biggles read-a-thon and throw chocs to the four winds. Meanwhile away from the ethereal plain, Big Massey rustles around the dugout for his elusive mojo before being lured onto the pitch with a strategically placed interesting looking camshaft deposited at left…
North Down travelled to Bangor on Saturday to play a high flying Bangor side who were undefeated in the league.Both sides played good attacking hockey from the off but it was Bangors ability to convert short corners that was the difference between the teams at the end.Bangor won 3 and converted 2 while North Down…
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…
