Donaghadee Ladies Hockey Club

A massive thank you to everyone who has donated to our two very worthy causes, North Down Friends of Marie Curie and Fire Lily, both of whom work provide invaluable support for people going through cancer journeys.

We're soooo close to our online target - can you help us reach it? Thank you for your support 🙏

*CLUB COACH ROLE NOW OPEN*
We are seeking a new Club Head Coach for the 26/27 season to support the development of our club and help guide both our 1XI and 2XI teams, with our 1XI promoted to Senior 2 last year and our 2s playing in Junior 10.

We are a welcoming and community focused club with a strong group of committed players and we are looking for someone who is passionate about hockey and keen to help players develop as we look to grow and improve on and off the pitch.

This will be a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys grassroots sport and would like to play a key role in developing DLHC, a friendly yet ambitious local club.

Remuneration negiotable.

For more information or to express interest, please contact us on [email protected], or ping us a message here 📩❤️💚

In case you missed it... We ran a Sixes tournament last weekend to raise vital funds for North Down Friends of Marie Curie and Fire Lily, both of whom work provide support for people going through cancer journeys.

There is still time to donate and and your support is very much appreciated. Thank you!

What a day! Thank you so much to everyone who was at our Sixes tournament today. Players, spectators, umpires, helpers... all combined to come together for a super day's hockey, a lot of craic and most importantly raising money for our chosen charities Marie Curie and Fire Lily.

A couple of special shout outs to the following:
🔥 Ards Fireplaces for sponsoring the fab barbeque, tuck shop and very welcome cold drinks

🪚 Murdock Builders Merchants for supplying the fence posts which make excellent bounce boards!

Huge thanks also too to our Coach Willie McAdam for sorting the match schedule and keeping everything running smoothly. Literally living his best life combining spreadsheets, organising and hockey in one afternoon 🥳 We know he's retiring but... a wee run out this time next year, Willie? (Asking for a friend 😜)

We'll have the grand total in the next few days but there's still time to donate online:

Who *wouldn't* want to win one of these babies?! Baby being the operative word... 🤨

Every expense might have been spared for the winners' trophies for Sunday's Sixes but this is a highly coveted piece of silverware (plastic) and make no mistake!

The running order is being finalised and we'll be in touch with all our teams before the big day to make sure everyone know who, what, where and when
