Hermes get ISC win

Hermes HC — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:48:39 +0000

Hermes 1s made heavy weather of the trip North to eventually beat Armagh on penalty strokes and progress to the next round of the Irish Senior Cup. The team could even have been late for the Christmas party given that it was 1 all at full time and then eventually Hermes won 4-3 on penalty strokes. One of those days, but an important win to celebrate later at the party.

Hermes Vets calling on players

Hermes HC — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:58:29 +0000

Probably the most enjoyable hockey anyone will experience is playing for the Vets - one does have to be over a certain age, but that is the only criteria and the hockey tends not to follow the usual guildlines. There are times that the Vets dont field a full team, and play against Clubs that play in the friendly spirit of memories when you were able to reach that ball. The Captain sometimes gets all enthusiastic and makes those improbably runs into the circle, calling for an impossible ball. Team talks at half time are not always about tactics and often rudely interrupted by the start of the second half. Last week the Hermes Vets played against Railway on a Friday evening, thus the match ended up in the club house.

Anyone wishing to experience this unique blend of hockey and fun, contact the Vets Captain, Ann Grimes or email us at hermes.hockey@gmail.com

Hermes Herald match reports

Hermes HC — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:16:05 +0000

It is really worth reading the match reports in the Hermes Herald and - we have had a few great ones already so early in the season .. exampes are:-

“Its 1.15 in SAC and the cars slowly trickle into the carpark then the sea of navy & turquoise gently emerges onto the pitch – the sun is shining, watch this space ” … by Maria Grimes Hermes 4s – they won 5-0

Also by an unknow or unwilling writer ” In honour of last week’s International Day of Older Persons, we invited some Vets to play on the 4s … and we needed them.”

Captains, keep the match reports coming and the best will be posted.
