We are nearly there! As we prepare for the much-needed break before the second half of our season, let's reflect on what we have accomplished so far.
Thanks to our membership secretary Blathnaid Wall Black, we have successfully transitioned to Clubzap for membership management. Currently, our membership breakdown stands as follows:
Irish Cement Junior Academy (infants to 5th Class) - 68
Junior League (6th Class to Inters) - 117
Boys - 22
Senior League - 31
Social Hockey - 6
Indoor Hockey - 22
For anyone who has not yet completed membership you can find details on outdoor and indoor membership here
We have had a vibrant Leinster League season for players from 6th Class to Seniors. All our training efforts are reaping rewards, and the teams are having great fun competing.
For Leinster League updates, including fixtures and results, please refer to our social media pages or the Leinster League website. Two of our senior team players Eva and Abbey Barnett are managing our social media so please send on all of your photos to boynehockeysocialmedia@gmail.com
Our league teams look fantastic in their new uniforms. We extend our gratitude to Ian Casey and Ann Marie Leech for their instrumental role in securing funding for our team gear through a sports capital grant. This enabled us to offer the new kits at a significantly discounted price.
Despite a few cancellations due to adverse weather conditions, we have successfully rescheduled our senior matches. The tight schedule of Leinster Leagues requires matches to be played on most Saturdays, and this has necessitated us hosting matches on Thursday evenings. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Jane, Richard, and Paul for allowing us to utilize their training sessions to facilitate this arrangement. A huge thank you to Sinead Nolan, who graciously handles the match secretary responsibilities for our junior and senior teams. (Sinead could do with some help if anyone is interested :))
Our indoor season is now in full swing, with players representing us in the following age groups:
Ladies Senior - Leinster League
U18 - Gormanston Tournament
U16 - Gormanston Tournament
U14 - Portrane Tournament
U14 Boys - Portrane Tournament
The Leinster Senior Indoor League has kicked off with great success. We are currently competing in a ladies league that started on Sunday, January 7th, and Boyne has emerged victorious in 3 out of 3 matches. This is a remarkable achievement for our coaches and players, as they are challenging some of Leinster's top indoor teams.
A special thank you to Hugh Baker and the team at Drogheda Grammar School for providing us access to toilets, changing rooms, and new storage facilities. Please remember to lock up when you are the last to leave.
A final thanks to our club sponsors who are helping to make all this possible
