Kings and Queens emerged as the winners of yet another successful North Down Easter Tournament. After the tension of the opening day, the gaudily clad young team held their nerve to win through to the final on a more laid back Sunday. Once again we were favoured by the weather which was fine throughout leaving…

Antrim 4-10 North Down North Down travelled to the Antrim forum for a league fixture against Antrim on Saturday. For 45 minutes Antrim made life difficult for north down with their strong running and in fact held a 3-2 lead which was well deserved early in the second period. It took a tactical switch to…
Instonians 3rds 1-4 North Down 2nds. A bit late this week due to yesterday being spent in a medically induced coma after Saturday afternoon celebrations were extended to sunrise Sunday morning. Ouch!

Portrush 1- 4 North Down North Down travelled to Ballycastle last Saturday to play Portrush in a Senior League game. North Down opened at a fast pace playing controlled hockey on a very slow pitch. In the opening minutes the ball was crashed in from the right and Gareth Bailie was on hand to slip…
North Down 2nds 1–1 Kilkeel 2nds. North Down win 5-3 on penalties. North Down vs Kilkeel encounters at any level are never for the faint hearted. They’re usually pretty bone-crunching affairs (literally if you take last year’s blood bath – no names but it was up there with Rumble in the Jungle). Add “semi-final” to…
