As members will be aware, we have medium term plans to develop the facilities in Park Avenue. These include the installation of mini pitches, training zones and skills areas in the grounds alongside the pitch; new team rooms, storage sheds and spectator areas. We also have repairs and work to carry out on the main playing surface and surrounding fencing.

Dublin City Council has launched the Crowdfund Dublin City Fund, via the spacehive platform, intended to provide €300,000 to support a range of community projects. They will consider projects on a case by case basis and could match up to €5,000 in donations made to applicable projects.

We have submitted a project application to purchase some additional equipment to enhance the delivery of hockey to both our youth and adult members. Our application includes plans to purchase some Outdoor Hockey5s Rebound Boards, Indoor practice boards and Mini hockey goals.

As there is the potential for Dublin City Council to provide matching funding towards the purchase of this equipment, all contributions from members, parents and supporters would be welcome. You can make a contribution via this link:
