Pre season training for the adult teams will start in mid August with our junior teams getting back onto the astroturf towards the end of the month.
If you haven't already done so, we would ask all members to arrange for the payment of their 2026/2027 subscriptions during August. This year we have facilitated an option to pay via 4 instalments for those who want to spread their membership renewal. We do have a 31 October deadline for subscriptions so members should be aware that this instalment payment option will be removed in the middle of August.
Renewing your membership is simple and can be done via the Pitchero app (choose the shop icon and scroll down to select the appropriate product) or via the website ( https://www.railwayunionhockey.ie/payments)
More information about the subscription rates is included in the article issued in mid May (Membership-renewal-for-20262027-is-now-open)
As we look forwards to the 2026/2027 season and seek to build on the success of last season, we want to continue to expand our membership and playing base. Members are reminded that there is the "Introduce a New Member" discount available to them, should they assist with recruiting a new adult member to the club.
Separate to the Railway Union subscription, members are reminded that they must also be members of Hockey Ireland in order to play hockey. Hockey Ireland have now opened their 2027 renewal facility at https://hockey.ie/membership/ and we encourage all youth and adult members to renew with Hockey Ireland ahead of the start of the season.
