What a brilliant day at the North Down Hockey Club U9 Blitz on Sunday 26th October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were thrilled to welcome players from Club KV for an exciting 4×4 format of hockey. A huge thank you to Mark Linter<\/strong> for organising this fantastic event, bringing our young players together for a day of fun and friendly competition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big shoutout to our dedicated coaches and young helpers who took on the umpiring duties and made sure everything ran smoothly. Your hard work is greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our Youth Committee for organising the tea, coffee, and delicious treats that kept everyone fuelled and warm(ish). Special thanks to all the parents for their unwavering support and for bringing those tasty goodies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And last but certainly not least, hats off to all the players for showcasing their brilliant hockey skills. We’re so proud of their excellent teamwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s to many more days like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
