Looking to join a field hockey team in Dublin

PJ4

Hi,
I'm 37 and looking to join a field hockey team in South Dublin. Haven't played for many years. Can anyone recommend a team?

I would recommend heading down to some of the summer hockey nights over the summer at your local club not exactly well organised in most cases but an easy introduction back into the game. There are loads of clubs in south Dublin I'd say 10+ have a look at hockey.ie and see the list of clubs in your area also keep an eye on hookhockey.com as it's updated with news regularly. If you haven't played in a while it might be better going to one of the bigger clubs as they will have a broader spectrum of teams but small clubs are great too.

Thanks dragonkin,
I'm heading down to Pembroke on Wednesday for the Summer Hockey. The aim is to use the programme to get fit and learn the ropes again, ready for the new season. I've contacted a handful of local clubs via email for new player requests. I've had one reply so far, so it's looking positive.

Glenanne in Tallaght will most likely be running a summer hockey night a week over the summer again this year and are always looking for new players.

Hi, I am in the same boat as you were a year ago. I am located in Terenure and want to get into it after many years off. What club did you end up going with?
